The Event Medical Team and Command

The event medical team is the group of clinicians and first aiders who deliver an event's medical plan under a named medical lead, working alongside the venue's safety command rather than running the event.

At a sports ground, medical and first aid provision is built around spectators, staff and personnel. Athletes, players and event officials have separate arrangements set by their sport's governing body, but the medical needs assessment must still consider the likelihood of one of them needing treatment from the personnel the ground has commissioned. A sport and exercise medicine (SEM) clinician can stand between 2 medical operations commissioned by different people, and the question is whether the 2 have ever spoken.

You lead the medical response; somebody else runs the ground. This page covers who the team are, what they must hold and how command works. The framework is on Planning Event Medical Cover and the sizing on Scaling Event Medical Cover.
