Medical service at events

Events bring many people together, which on the one hand means a lot of fun, but on the other hand always involves a certain risk. Whether a village street festival or a spectacular sports event – organisers have to expect medical emergencies at every event. But how do you ensure medical care for the visitors? Specially trained paramedics on site offer the greatest possible safety. At a confusing large-scale event, the emergency services can often arrive too late. Optimal event safety requires a medical service that is present on site.

In many cases, organisers are legally obliged to provide a professional medical service at events. There is no explicit regulation for this; the relevant guidelines mostly follow from the duty to maintain safety (Verkehrssicherungspflicht). It requires sources of danger to be averted and threatens claims for damages if neglected.

As the organiser of an event, you are therefore responsible for the health of your visitors. This responsibility is not unlimited, however; under event law it only applies within what is necessary and reasonable. With a professional medical service for events, you fulfil your duty of care in full. Specially trained paramedics for events ensure the best possible medical care for event visitors.

The requirements regarding the number of paramedics and the scope of services can vary greatly from event to event. We are your competent contact when it comes to quotes for medical emergency cover at events. Thanks to our high flexibility and professional planning management, we can provide a medical service tailored to your event within a very short time. This way you meet your need for a medical service – whether it is prescribed by official requirements, statutes or road traffic regulations – and gain security for your project.

Our medical service for your event is fast, safe and professional. From the small festival to the large public event, we are there for the medical care of visitors:

In addition, we are deployed in the field of disaster control.

Even at small occasions, the gathering of people makes accidents more likely than in everyday life. A professional medical service at events is therefore the last thing you should economise on. The Federal Court of Justice has expressed itself very clearly on safety at events: “The safety of the visitor takes absolute priority over the economic interests of the organiser”, says a relevant ruling.

Organisers have a duty to act when the event increases the danger to participants. This can happen, for example, through a particular risk of injury at sports events such as football matches, or simply because the venue is very remote and therefore hard to reach. The authorities then impose certain conditions, which can include the obligation to commission a medical service for events.

A professional medical service not only supports you with the medical care of event participants; we are also happy to advise you on the number of medical professionals required.
