Film, TV & Commercial Productions

Set medics who understand production pace, not just medicine

We supply experienced set medics to film, television and commercial productions. Eighteen years in the industry means our medics know how a set actually runs — when to step in, when to stay back, and how to keep cast and crew safe without slowing the day down. Every booking carries licensed physician oversight and meets health and safety requirements.

Workplace & Events

On-site medics for concerts, festivals & events

We also staff concerts, festivals and corporate events, covering attendees, performers and crew. Our production and clinical background means we plan for how live events actually behave — crowd flow, load-in, weather, long days — and the same consultants can work with you before the gates open on risk assessment, emergency response planning and compliance.

Medical Consulting

Specialist medical consultants, on call 24/7

Productions call us when a scene needs more than a medic on standby. Our consultants are physicians, nurses and specialists who have worked both in clinical practice and on set, advising on scene planning, medical accuracy, risk assessment and emergency response. We consult internationally and have placed nurses as far afield as Africa.

  • Secure, automated booking and documentation systems
