Using the expertise gained through its parent company – Location Medical Services, LMS Commercial Training can bring nearly a decade’s experience planning and implementing medical services at all kinds of events into training for events industry professionals.

Courses that we can offer include 1 day or ½ day training for event security companies allowing their operatives to learn and practice basic life support, give an insight into differentiating unwell casualties from the intoxicated, an introduction into moving and handling casualties form a dangerous position (i.e. crowds or pit areas) and content relating the immediate medical treatment of assaults, stabbings or alcohol or drug intoxication.

We can also expand on existing First Aid training for corporate or outdoor event operatives - in order to allow them to provide basic medical treatment for any of their delegates or guests who suffer minor injuries or ailments on outdoor or teambuilding events. This normally accompanies an introduction to medical considerations of outdoor events and remote site events – all content not covered in the standards HSE courses.
