Internet Fraudsters use Eventmed logo

We recently had two e-mails from people who had been approached from Internet faudsters. One claimed that a friend lay seriously ill in the Eventmed hospital and needed urgent surgery. Without the money they wanted they would not operate and the man would die. Eventmed is only a training company and has no hospital. All care in the UK is available on the National Health Service at no charge. The second was asked to process an Eventmed Death Certificate. In the UK death certificates are issued by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. Hospitals do NOT issued death certificates. Please do not be fooled.

Jack joins John on the victims team

Eventmed UK Ltd now has two mannikins that breathe, have pulses, and accept advanced procedures. They were first used for the double week-end PHEC course.

Developments in Equestrian Medical Officer training

There is talk of a one day refresher course being needed for Race Course Medical Officers each year. If this comes to pass then we shall be offering these courses around the country at week-ends, with a different venue on the Saturday and the Sunday. Keep an eye on this site for further information

John & Caspar join Eventmed UK Ltd

Several new characters are now making their debut at Eventmed training venues. We have continued to invest in training equipment and have recently bought a range of training mannikins. These include one with a tracheostomy so that medical personnel can practice the resuscitation of a "neck-breathing" patient.

John is the most sophisticated mannikin we currently possess. He can have a variable respiratory rate, blood pressure and pulse rate. He can have anaphylactic reactions where his tongue swells and his vocal cords become swollen forcing the trainee to perform a surgical airway on him. He can develop a pneumothorax which can be treated by needle decompression or by chest drain. His arrhythmias will respond to the drugs and shocks that are given him. He provides excellent training scenarios and most people get to really like him!

Caspar on the other hand is a bit of fun. The company mascot, Caspar is a CPR training mannikin of the canine variety!. Just to prove that 30:2 will work on everyone & everything!
