Booking Medical Cover
Event medical cover should be booked using the online booking form on our website, you will receive a quotation (the “Quote”).
This contract is effective from the time we send you a booking confirmation email until the event has taken place and the final invoice amount has cleared in our bank account (unless the contract ends earlier due to any of the reasons set out at Clause 12).
If we cannot accept your booking
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to decline any booking request for Event Medical Services.
Where we are unable to accept your booking, we will notify you in writing and no charges will be payable in respect of the proposed Medical Cover.
Circumstances in which we may decline a booking include, but are not limited to:
(a) where our personnel, vehicles, or other operational resources are already committed and we are unable to safely fulfil the requested services on the specified date(s);
(b) where, in our professional clinical judgment, the level of Medical Cover requested is insufficient for the nature, size, or risk profile of the Event; or
(c) where insufficient, incomplete, or inaccurate information has been provided to enable us to undertake an appropriate risk assessment and determine a safe and compliant level of Medical Cover.
In such circumstances, we will provide you with our rationale and, where appropriate, recommend a level of Medical Cover that we consider to be safe, proportionate, and in line with relevant guidance, including but not limited to the Purple Guide and applicable UK health and safety expectations.
No Contract shall be formed, and no services shall be provided, until such time as a mutually agreed and clinically appropriate level of Medical Cover has been confirmed in writing.
Your responsibility to book suitable Cover
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for:
(a) determining and commissioning an appropriate and safe level of medical provision for your Event; and
(b) undertaking and maintaining a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for all aspects of your Event, in accordance with applicable legislation and recognised guidance.
Any advice, risk assessment, or Event Medical Plan produced by us is provided strictly for the purpose of enabling us to safely deliver our services and to meet our own clinical governance, regulatory, and operational requirements.
Such documents do not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, a comprehensive event risk assessment or as confirmation that the overall medical provision for the Event is adequate.

The ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the level of Medical Cover is sufficient, appropriate, and compliant with relevant guidance (including, but not limited to, the Purple Guide and UK health and safety legislation) remains with you as the Event Organiser.
Amending your booking
Your Right to Request Amendments
If you wish to increase or otherwise amend the agreed level of Medical Cover, you must notify us as soon as reasonably practicable.
Any requested amendment is subject to resource availability and our approval. Where we are able to accommodate your request, we will issue a revised Quote reflecting any changes to the scope of services, personnel, resources, and associated fees (the “Revised Quote”).
No amendment shall take effect unless and until the Revised Quote has been accepted by you and confirmed in writing by us.
Our Right to Require Amendments
We reserve the right, at any time prior to the Event, to review the agreed level of Medical Cover in light of any new, updated, or previously undisclosed information relating to the Event.
Where, in our professional clinical judgement, the agreed level of Medical Cover is no longer appropriate for the nature, size, or risk profile of the Event, we shall notify you in writing as soon as reasonably practicable.
In such circumstances, we may require that the level of Medical Cover is revised as a condition of continuing to provide services. This may include adjustments to personnel, vehicles, equipment, or clinical capability.
If a mutually acceptable revision to the Medical Cover (and any associated fees) cannot be agreed, we reserve the right to withdraw from the booking without liability.
