We approach every new engagement with safety in mind first and foremost and look to understand the exact requirements and risks of your production so that we can specify a bespoke level of coverage that will meet the productions medical needs.

However, we also understand that providing set medics & film medical services is as much about cast and crew welfare as it is tending to injury. As such, our film medics are on hand to deal with minor ailments that may occur during shooting in order to reduce lost time, and ensure the cast and crew’s utmost comfort during the production. We also look to identify any cast and crew with specific medical needs or ailments during the planning process and when we first get on set/location so that we can cater to their specific needs also and help you ensure a smooth and efficient TV/Film Production.

When it comes to traumatic injuries, while they should hopefully be rare, you can be sure that our set medics will be equipped with a range of trauma equipment to allow them to to respond to the incident and give effective aid to the patient, preserving their life. Just because a set medic is on a film set, doesn’t mean that our high standards don’t still apply, and our staff have access to equipment akin to that found on front line emergency ambulances.
