Do you have time to make sure everyone is equipped, licensed, insured and competent with everything in this list? Every single paramedic staffed at your event is verified by a licensed emergency physician to be fully competent. Event Medical Solutions Unlimited ensures they are licensed, insured and monitors performance using a comprehensive quality management system. If anything else, take from this list that all paramedics, no matter where they work, are dedicated professionals…much much more than “ambulance driver.”
