The Company History

Eventmed UK is a training and development company formed by doctors experienced in teaching both their general practice and immediate care acquired skills. Unlike some other training companies in the field we do not use instructors who have learnt the theory but haven't got the experience. Go and take a look at our team profile, these are people with specialist skills and experience.

The company was formed in 1998 to run Race Course Medical Officer courses approved by the Jockey Club and the Medical Equestrian Association. Interest in the courses rapidly led to requests for a variety of other related subjects. The Directors and the staff cover a wide range of disciplines and can offer a variety of emergency care courses that can be tailored to your individual needs, from First-Aid courses to Advanced Trauma Rescue.

Teaching is very orientated towards intensive "hands on" skill teaching. Lectures when essential, are computer generated to allow the best of visual presentation. Course notes are designed to allow ease of learning with space for notes and self test questions at the end of every section. The modular presentation allows for the notes to be continuously updated.

In 2002 the company formed a working relationship with Blackpool Airport Fire & Rescue Service to provide the facilities, resources and expertise to enable very realistic training for pre-hospital care emergencies.

In 2003 we attended AMBEX for the first time, ran our first Pre-hospital Emergency Care course for BASICS and started taking credit card bookings.

In 2004 our income had reached the point we had to register for VAT, our Equestrian Event course was approved by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and we started developing new courses with the College. We also gained a regular contract with Chorley & South Ribble Primary Care Trust to train their staff in Basic Life support and Anaphylaxis Management.

In 2006 we worked with a variety of different companies supplying bespoke courses to meet their needs. The second edition of the Safety at Scene manual was published as an e-book.

2007 has introduced us to a new venture, that of training Forensic Medical Examiners (Police Surgeons). We have done emergency skills training in the custodial environment for the local prisons in the past, and had several years ago prepared a Custody Officers Medical Awareness Course so we were able to take these elements and provide a new course.
