Success Story
Major London Tennis Tournament – On-Site Treatment Centre
First Aid Cover provided a dedicated medical and treatment centre for a five day summer tennis tournament attracting approximately 20,000 attendees per day. The centre acted as the hub of medical support, ensuring safe, compliant care while reducing hospital transfers.
The Challenge
The organiser needed a central facility capable of handling both minor injuries and critical emergencies on-site. With high crowd, staff and player numbers expected, local NHS services also required assurance that the event had adequate medical infrastructure in place.
Our Approach
We deployed a fully equipped triage tent staffed by NHS trained doctors, nurses, and paramedics. The treatment centre included multiple patient bays, oxygen and resuscitation equipment and pharmacy. There was a private area for sensitive cases. On ground response teams and ambulances were integrated with the centre through a dedicated event control ensuring patients received rapid, seamless care.
Results
- 305 patient contacts managed over the five days
- over 95% of patients treated and discharged on-site
- less than 5% of cases required hospital transfer, easing pressure on local A&E
- Average treatment time under 10 minutes for minor cases
- Compliance confirmed by NHS with no corrective actions required
