Event Ambulance Service

Event Ambulance Service: medical cover for events and productions

Event Ambulance Service is the trading name of Wayne Sturt, a British operator specialising in medical assistance for events. The company presents itself as a provider of medical cover for corporate events, sports competitions, concerts and festivals, film and television productions, and long-distance endurance events. Its activity is focused exclusively on the medical field, without offering complementary security or other services.

Specialisation in sports events and shows

The company details among its areas of operation sports events such as mixed martial arts, boxing, triathlon, cycling and equestrian, as well as concerts and music festivals. It also covers long-distance endurance events, citing examples such as Ironmans and the infamous 100-mile/30-hour Trailwalker across the South Downs. To this is added cover for film and television shoots and for corporate events.

Ambulance fleet and clinical staff

The company has a fleet of road ambulances and 4x4 vehicles that it describes as modern and equipped to national standards, in some cases above NHS levels. According to its presentation, the clinicians who make up the team are trained for their roles and most also work within the NHS.

Background and origin

Wayne Sturt took over the management of East Sussex Medical Events Service in 2011, succeeding the previous owners. The company states that since then it has built a reputation within the independent ambulance industry. The current trading name was adopted in April 2024.

Complementary services and prior assessment

The company offers a no-obligation assessment and quotation for each event. It notes that, although it only provides medical cover, it can recommend other companies for aspects such as fire safety and security. In its communication it warns about the risks of hiring providers that offer one-stop solutions or artificially low prices.

User feedback

Event Ambulance Service collects opinions from those who use its services through an online form, a QR code available on its vehicles, feedback cards, direct contact with the team or email.
