Paramedics are registered medical professionals who usually have degree level education in prehospital care.

​

Paramedics work autonomously as well as part of a team and can administer many life-saving drugs, pain relief and other medications.

​

EAS Medical provide Paramedics to bigger events and those with higher risk profiles. 

​

Paramedics are role models, leaders and will often manage our team when deployed. Paramedics crew all of our vehicles both solo and with a partner. They can drive on blue lights but usually support the most critically unwell patients in the back of the ambulance. 

As the name suggests, our EAC's are people that are qualified to work on an emergency ambulance.

​

EAC's make up most of our team and are deployed on almost every event.

​

An EAC will usually be our team leader (unless there is a Paramedic on site) and will make clinical decisions with support from a senior clinician based in our control room. 

​

At EAS, our EAC's are trained and empowered to deliver the best lifesaving care. This can include driving on blue lights and the administration of selected lifesaving medications for the immediate treatment of anaphylaxis, acute asthma and the life threatening effects of opioid use. ​EAC's crew all of our vehicles, sometimes solo but usually as part of team. 

First responders are our first line of support. They almost always make up part of the team that we deploy to your event.

​

First responders will are the initial response. usually arriving quickly on foot or bicycle, they will quickly identify how much help a patient needs and make the first lifesaving interventions whilst our backup makes it's way through the crowds. Our first responders aren't usually found on ambulances and do not drive on blue lights.

​

In low acuity cases, our team of first responders are trained in minor injury management and can see and treat quickly and discharge a patient back into your event without even needing to present at the first aid post.  

A first aider is a person who has completed three days of basic training. Industry standards state first aiders in isolation are not suitable for event medical support.

However, at EAS we recognise the value of education and will invite selected first aiders to larger events where they can join our team in a supernumerary position and support our other clinicians. 

​

A first aider may support another clinician in any of our clinical settings.
