Pre-event guidance for local authorities

Ambulance Trusts form part of the safety advisory group (SAG) membership/process to provide specialist knowledge to guide and advise anyone who is planning or organising an event.

Ambulance Trusts are commissioned on behalf of the wider NHS to represent and safeguard the wider NHS from any event that is being promoted within a local authority area.

As part of the SAG, a Trust representative will support the process to ensure that every event has a detailed medical plan based on a comprehensive risk assessment.

Below is a document which provides guidance in relation to understanding the requirements and expectations of local authorities and the promoters/organisers prior to an event taking place.
