Get first aid cover for your event

We will need the following information:

• Date and time
• Venue/location
• Type of event
• Numbers attending/participating
• Any special requirements

Once we have received your information we will carry out an assessment and quote you for the level of cover we recommend.

The more notice you can give us, the more likely it is that we will be able to provide cover for your event. Large events often need planning beginning up to twelve months in advance.
