Surveys and Site Risk Assessments
We provide a comprehensive medical audit and risk assessment of work sites, focusing on the medical infrastructure (including both existing internal and the available external medical infrastructure in the vicinity), and the subsequent compilation of a full risk management manual with recommendations.
Contingency and Emergency Planning
In consultation with the client we develop site specific contingency and emergency plans. These can cover medical, security, major incident and environmental risks and include emergency response plans and desktop exercises.
Medical Training
We provide on-site training and courses tailored to your needs. Training programmes range from basic first aid to more advanced emergency medical training like ALS, ACLS, ATLS, APLS as well as health and safety, fire and incident management.
Medical Kits
Medical kits are developed taking into account the local infrastructure and available medical resources using quality medical products. We are able to maintain these for you and they can carry your company branding if required.
Medical Equipment and Supplies
We are able to source and supply medical equipment and consumables according to client requirements. We will advise on most appropriate equipment for your site based on your medical resources, the local infrastructure and conditions.
Staffing
Whether you need a single paramedic or nurse or a team to manage a hospital, we can place our own staff or source, manage and train staff on your behalf.
Pre and Post Employment Screening
It is important to ensure that your employees or contractors are fit for assignment prior to deployment to a medically under-serviced area. We work with you in developing appropriate screening programmes taking into account the local conditions, facilities and work environment.
Establishing Medical Facilities
We are able to satisfy your on-site medical requirements whatever they might be - from a simple first aid post to the design, implementation and management of a remote clinic.
We also provide on-site medical support and healthcare services, including medical equipment, medication and supplies; medical staffing; clinic management; training of management; occupational health resources and support; and stationary and mobile field clinics.
Provider Networks
If you manage the healthcare of your employees we can assist you in establishing your own network of medical providers or review and enhance your existing network.
We can advise on and help you tap into existing structures or research and develop a bespoke network to suit your needs whether you require coverage for a single city, a country, region or globally.

Working closely with your event planning team, we develop a custom made risk support programme for your event, including a contingency plan for emergencies and the provision of a wide variety of patient care services, ranging from day-to-day medical care to emergency medical intervention.

If you would prefer a dedicated fixed wing or helicopter ambulance on standby we will arrange this using the most appropriate aircraft for the location and in the most cost-effective manner.
Specialised Vehicles
We facilitate the design, development and manufacture of medical vehicles adapted to your local needs. Vehicles are equipped according to requirements and the level of medical staff on site.
