Festival and concert medical cover in Surrey
Quick answer: Medirek provides festival and concert medical cover across Surrey: crowd medics, welfare and triage, pop-up medical centres and HCPC-registered paramedics, nurses and doctors. Plans are built from a bespoke medical needs assessment checked against the Purple Guide, and Medirek works with local Safety Advisory Groups. Surrey festival work includes Live at Loseley and Guildford Beer Festival.
Crowds, heat, alcohol and long days on a field all change the medical picture. Medirek plans and staffs medical cover for festivals, concerts and large public gatherings across Surrey, from private estate festivals to town-centre concerts.

What a festival medical team from Medirek looks like
- Crowd medics. Teams trained to spot vulnerable people early and to work in packed crowds. They can reach a patient, stabilise them and move them back to an established medical point.
- Welfare and triage. Minor injuries are treated on site so people can stay at your event, and your security teams stay free to do their own jobs.
- Drug and alcohol awareness. Non-judgemental care that puts patient safety first and helps you understand drug use within your event so it can be managed properly.
- Pop-up medical centres. Medirek can build a treatment centre at your site with privacy screens, observation beds and advanced life support equipment, able to handle everything from simple welfare cases to the most acute emergencies.
- Paramedics, nurses and doctors. HCPC-registered clinicians who can give life-saving drugs, make high-level clinical decisions and manage patients for longer if needed. Medirek describes these as essential for high-capacity or higher-risk events.
Planned against the Purple Guide
Medirek assesses its medical plans against industry guidance such as the Purple Guide and produces its own bespoke risk and medical needs assessment, so the staff and equipment at your festival match its actual risk. You never pay for more than you need, and you never have less than is safe.
Working with the Safety Advisory Group
Medirek regularly deploys teams across Surrey and works alongside Surrey Police and local Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs). Its leadership brings more than a decade of police and emergency services risk management and JESIP command experience, so your medical plan is built for major-incident readiness as well as minor injuries.
Experience at Surrey events
At Live at Loseley, in the grounds of Loseley House near Guildford, Medirek provided on-site safety management, emergency and event safety planning, medical planning and medical cover, plus event control and logging. Medirek was asked back the following year, making Loseley a repeat client.
