Davids Event First Aid
Looking to launch
July 6th 2019
(If this qualification course isn't cancelled too)
Offering advanced first aid cover for the smaller event
In and around
Andover, Newbury, Salisbury, Winchester, Basingstoke. Southampton
and more.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After many years practising and teaching first aid with St John Ambulance in my spare time
I have decided to offer
low cost
non ambulance Advanced first aid cover
designed for small events and functions
where an experienced first aider trained to
First Response Emergency Care level 3
is required
but an ambulance is not.
Specialising in covering the lower risk events such as
fetes, rallies, shows, car boot, festivals, theatre etc where you should have someone there
ready to cope with any unexpected medical emergency
or better still help in preventing one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some events need ambulances, paramedics, extra crew and staff.
The higher risk of injury and difficult to get to events.
The large established companies out there specialise in this and cover them well
with 4x4 specialist ambulances, RRV vehicles etc,
However!
Not many of these companies are interested or cost effective in
small events first aid cover,
I AM
And I keep the costs plain, simple and upfront,
a minimum rate for up to three hours and an hourly rate for any additional hours over the three with a small fee for the First Aid Post if required for short events lasting up to six hours
(Details below).
I carry vital equipment and experience for many kinds of situations that require first aid.
From plasters to a defibrillator (A.E.D),
Airway management.
Specialist trauma and burns dressings,
Various different types of first aid bags Inc catering
and wearing clearly marked uniforms that stands out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For outdoor events I have available
a fully kitted Response Cycle, (A.E.D, Trauma etc)
a small first aid tent with extra equipment, couch, seating etc,
two way radios to share with on site event staff that can help bring my attention to any situation quickly.
And of course liability insurance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where possible I can bring learning tools to enhance your event such as
resuscitation dummies (Annie) a practice Aed
And bandages etc.
This is for your public and staff to sample and experience
first hand CPR and other first aid skills or simply recap from any previous training.
This could bring added interest to your event.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how much does this cost?,
That's simple.
For standard first aid cover
(one equipped first aider only)
£60 up to three hours cover (minimum fee)
and £15 per hour (or part of) afterwards.
And that's for advanced first aid cover (F.R.E.C 3)
not a basic first aider.
-------
Additional charges.
For the tent and furniture (First aid post)
an additional cost of £25 for events lasting up to six hours
(or part of)
However,
events lasting over six hours it comes free if needed or possible.
---
No additional charge
for the equipped Responder cycle
where its needed.
.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what happens if an ambulance is needed?
This is rare in smaller events, but should an ambulance be needed it can easily be called for
The importance is the immediate critical care
given on site while awaiting an ambulance.
This gives a much higher chance of a good outcome
than not having
first response emergency care
(Advanced first aid cover)
on site while waiting for help.

All being well
