Our film & TV medical services
Set medics
Experienced clinicians on set throughout your filming day, ready to treat anything from minor injuries and illnesses to serious incidents. We match the clinical grade to the risks on your schedule, from FREC-3 first responders to HCPC-registered paramedics, nurses and doctors.
Dedicated production medics
For longer shoots, we can attach a dedicated medic to your production for its full run, so cast and crew have a familiar face who knows your unit, locations and schedule.
Paramedic and ambulance standby
Fully equipped ambulances, crewed by HCPC-registered paramedics and ambulance technicians, can be stationed on location. A casualty can be treated straight away and taken to hospital without waiting for an emergency response.
Critical care provision
For higher-risk productions, we can provide critical care teams with advanced clinical skills and equipment, delivering a hospital level of care on location until a patient can be safely handed over.
Air ambulance support
Where a location is remote or the risk profile demands it, we can arrange air ambulance support to get a seriously injured casualty to specialist care as quickly as possible.
Rapid response vehicles
A smaller, more economical option when a full ambulance isn’t needed, bringing a paramedic and advanced equipment quickly across large or spread-out locations.
Stunt and special effects cover
Stunts, vehicle work, pyrotechnics and working at height need a higher level of cover. We can supply paramedics, advanced practitioners and pre-hospital doctors, and plan the cover with your stunt coordinator and safety team.
Medical risk assessments and planning
Before filming starts, we review your schedule, locations and planned activity and recommend the right level of cover, helping you meet your health and safety obligations from prep to wrap.
Mobile medical units
On large sets, long-running locations or scenes with big crowds of supporting artists, our mobile units give you a self-contained treatment area with space for triage, treatment and resuscitation.
Remote and multi-day locations
We support shoots in remote or hard-to-reach places and productions running over several days, with 4×4 and off-road vehicles to reach casualties wherever you’re filming, scaling cover to each part of your schedule.
Cover for builds, rigs and strikes
Medical risk doesn’t stop when the cameras do. We cover set construction, pre-rigs, de-rigs and large builds, as we did for the F1 build at Silverstone.
