About Equestrian Medical Company.
In simple terms we are the first medical company in the UK to exclusively cater for the specialist needs of our colleagues at equestrian centres all over the southern region.
We are made up of 4 horse lovers (2 NHS paramedics, an NHS operating theatre practitioner and an NHS doctor) and we are part of a British Horse Society approved Establishment. We have extensive professional and social experience around horses and we have provided medical cover to events at all levels ranging from local pony clubs through to large prestigious international events.
The Equestrian Medical Company has been set up to supplement the NHS income of our paramedics and allows us to provide highly qualified/experienced staff at a very reasonable cost.
It stands to reason that we are fully equipped and insured and we are in the unique position of being able to re-assure our clients that the paramedics covering your events today could well be the same paramedics who attend your 999 call tomorrow. If your event doesn't require the skills of a paramedic, you can relax in the knowledge that our first aid and other medical staff have been hand-picked by paramedics who ensure that in addition to holding a relevant qualification they have extensive knowledge of the sort of incidents they may face whilst working at an equestrian event.
As we have the experience and knowledge within the equestrian industry, we are able to offer our customers the unique opportunity of ‘MOUNTED PARAMEDICS & FIRST AIDERS’ at any event, a service that NO other company is able to offer!
We are only a small company and genuinely believe that we offer an unbeatable service at an unbeatable price and invite you to receive a free no obligation quotation.
If you would like to reduce the price you are currently paying for medical cover and would be interested in having experienced/registered health care professionals with a genuine understanding of your needs in attendance at your event then please contact us now.
