What You Can Expect on Placement

Depending on the event and your level of training, your placement could include:

  • On-ground event coverage

    Being part of the medical team at festivals, sporting events, community events and more.

  • Clinical observation & hands-on practice

    Helping with patient assessments, management, vital signs, documentation, and handovers – always under supervision and within your agreed scope.

  • Practical “real world” skills

    Assisting with equipment and kit checks, restocking, infection control, and pack up at the end of the day.

  • Communication & teamwork

    Working with a mixed team of clinicians, event organisers, security, and sometimes external emergency services.

You’ll always be supervised, and we’ll clearly explain what you can and can’t do on day one.
