What a venue medical engagement delivers
- Less demand on local NHS services. Ambulance-grade medics on site can treat patrons, discharge them safely or point them to the right onward care, rather than every incident becoming an ambulance call-out or a trip to A&E. Medirek's staff can also deal directly with the ambulance service, NHS 111 and police when they are needed.
- Support for your licensing objectives. Keeping patrons safe goes to the heart of the licensing objectives, especially public safety and the prevention of crime and disorder. Medirek notes that fewer calls to ambulance or police for medical and welfare incidents can have a beneficial effect with licensing authorities, and its welfare and safeguarding role helps protect vulnerable customers.
- An efficient venue, with no lost time. Without a medic, untrained staff end up managing patients, and door staff are pulled away from their duties. With Medirek on site, your team and your SIA security staff can carry on doing their jobs while the medical team deals with the incident.
How Medirek works with your venue
- Recurring cover for regular nights. Cover on a one-off basis or every night you open, from a single medic to teams of responders and paramedics, scaled up for busier nights and special events.
- A dedicated medical room. Medirek can help you set up and manage a medical room, staff it when you are open, and look after stock and equipment levels for you.
- Liaison with your door team and DPS. Medirek's medics work alongside your door supervisors and your Designated Premises Supervisor, so medical, welfare and security decisions are joined up on the night.
- Incident reporting and injury data. A digital patient record system gives you incident and injury data for risk management, and Medirek can provide health and safety support to track incidents and apply control measures.
- Welfare and safeguarding. Medics manage welfare and safeguarding incidents, apply safeguarding measures and, where necessary, report directly to local authority safeguarding teams.
- A venue operations plan. For each new venue, Medirek writes a venue operations plan so its staff know your procedures and policies.
- Clinical governance. Medirek operates strict clinical governance overseen by its GMC-registered Medical Director and a clinical team including paramedics and frontline medical staff. This ensures consistency of care and identifies any equipment needs or staffing gaps, which can then be addressed for subsequent nights and events.
