There is extensive evidence demonstrating the importance of rapid lifesaving first aid in these circumstances. The range of medical conditions can also vary enormously and there should be adequate capability to manage a wide range of traumatic and medical situations, varying from the trivial to the life threatening. Special consideration needs to be given to drug and alcohol issues, along with psychiatric problems. It is important to ensure that the spectrum of care is available, commensurate with the size of the event. The Role: * Ensuring that there is an appropriate level of medical, first aid and ambulance provision at an event that will minimise the impact on the local NHS services. * Undertake a medical, ambulance and first aid assessment. * A medical staffing plan should be made prior to the event to ensure that staff are deployed appropriately * Medical provision should be provided for the full duration of the events, including build up and derig.
