The key medic is the first medical person hired for a film production and works as the medical department head.
Hired by one of the film’s producers, the key medic is the person who is ultimately responsible for staffing the medical team with the right crew for the job.
This is a job Set Medics UK is perfectly suited for as a company with an extensive staff / contractor base, no job is too large or indeed too small.
The Key Medic is a role with tremendous responsibility and usually reserved for people well known in the industry who have displayed on multiple films the ability to handle the task.
At Set Medics UK we can handle any size unit in any global location.

They work closely with the stunt coordinators, the onset fire marshal, and the assistant directors. They attend meetings to see exactly how the days film schedule looks, whether or not there are any potential hazardous stunts being performed and what the exact plans are should something go wrong.
Off production medics are the medics working on Prep, Strike or Rehearsal locations.

4x4 Rescue Vehicles
Having specialist 4x4 stretcher capable ambulance vehicles to ensure compliance with Sec19 of the RTA on our fleet is very important as it allows us to access patients that are not next to a road or other suitable access point within your event.
If your event is off road, in a field or along a muddy track then we can still get to your patrons and assist them when needed.
For more inaccesible locations we have partnered with specialists in off road vehicles.
