First Aid
Getting you the support you need
TD Med are able to provide experienced healthcare professionals with different pre-hospital care qualifications – they include Doctors, EMT's and Advanced First Aiders.
In addition, we are also able to provide First Response Emergency Care (FREC) qualified personnel and other competent individuals who have completed a nationally recognized prehospital care course. Please note that, for various reasons, we do not supply ‘Emergency First Aiders’ or ‘Qualified First Aiders’ for any event unless we also supply one or more supervisory personnel who have more prehospital experience and higher medical qualifications.
It is very important that event organizers understand different medical qualifications so that you are able to make an informed decision with regard to the number of medical personnel that you want and their knowledge and potential capabilities.
Our objective is to provide a first-class service, to all of our clients, that exceeds their expectations and requirements. We therefore make every effort to deliver high-quality, client centred care and that is the reason why the majority of the work we do is for existing clients or clients who book after seeing us work at another event and/or after a recommendation from one of our existing clients.
Our specialist vehicles, equipment and additional resources
TD Med is able to provide a variety of vehicles and other resources to ensure that your event benefits from a bespoke service that will more than meet your precise requirements. We are able to provide and/or arrange the following:

Equipped with all the necessary medical devices including, a stretcher and full spinal immobilization supplies, these vehicles enable us to convey patients from the activity area to an awaiting road ambulance for further treatment or transport to an appropriate medical facility. They are also equipped with first aid and basic or advanced life support equipment.

These bikes carry defibrillators, oxygen, and an array of medical equipment, to ensure the prompt treatment of patients.
