MEDIREK can provide cycle responders for your event or venue!
A medical cycle responder can be a cost-effective and innovative way to ensure good medical coverage at events or venues that face access issues or are spread across larger areas.
Our bicycle responder teams can quickly get a range of equipment to the furthest reaches of your event site, helping to increase positive patient outcomes and provide a highly visible, responsive complement to an event medical team.
Our teams can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Community and Cultural Events – Whether your event is in a dense, pedestrianised urban area or is an event site that does not allow vehicle movements, then cycle responders can be a great way to ensure quick response to medical emergencies.
- Convention Centres and Halls – As convention centres get larger and larger, the call for medical personnel on bicycles is increasing. Many statutory services are now adopting similar responder teams to provide quick response services in areas such as ports, airports and town centres due their clear effectiveness.
- Off Road/Trail Events – A cycle responder can add a great deal of value to events that take place in more remote or inaccessible areas and terrains such as trail runs and similar.
Well equipped and expertly supported…
Our medical CRU teams are equipped with a wide range of equipment with that quick, first response in mind. This includes defibrillators, critical bleed equipment and airway support equipment as well as less urgent first aid supplies to ensure that good quality healthcare can reach every corner of your event site or race course whenever it is required.
We plan all of our operations meticulously, whether this be a one off event or a rolling continuous engagement, in order to ensure that we meet our aims of providing high quality but cost effective care at your event. We produce a bespoke medical risk assessment to establish if there are sufficient measures in place to address the potential or likely patient presentations that might occur and if we are providing the right staff and equipment to address this. Furthermore, our event medical plans look to plan for how we will look to reduce your event or venue’s impact on on local infrastructure by looking to divert demand away from the statutory ambulance service and NHS wherever possible, and signposting patients to alternative care pathways to avoid an influx of admissions into A&E. This plan is produced and finalised prior to your event so that it can be shared with local authorities, the event venue and other interested parties in order to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.
During the event, you will be made aware of who is your point of contact and leading the medical provision on site. In some cases, you may have an operational lead and then a clinical lead who is usually the most highly qualified or experienced member of medical staff. This ensures that you have a consistent individual to approach if something changes at your event, but also ensures a high level of medical care with clinical oversight from more experienced clinicians in order to achieve best care.
Following any event, or on a regular basis if the engagement is on a rolling basis, we will update you on the number of patients we have seen and the types of injury/illness that has occurred to ensure that you are able to understand your medical risk for future events and also ensuring our own abilities as care outcomes are regularly reviewed through our robust clinical governance process.
