Our Operational Managers will have an overall responsibility for our medical staff/provision at your event. Should a large-scale incident happen such as a multi-patient event or serious medical event like a cardiac arrest or severe accident, they will be deployed alongside the relevant response teams to help co-ordinate the scene and relay information to control and coordinate an operational plan; freeing up the clinician and response team on the scene to concentrate on the patient. 

The role of the TCM is to manage the on-site medical centre and its flow of patients. They will be responsible for allocating attending staff to patients within the Treatment Centre ensuring a safe smooth flow of the patients in and out of the TC. They will be the point of contact between responders and senior clinicians, escalating concerns where needed and changing staffing based on operational demand. 

Depending on the size of your event may depend on whether place our control room/vehicle. 

ALS Med has dedicated and highly trained controllers and dispatchers who are responsible for allocating resources to jobs on the site, keeping track of scene times, passing alerts to hospitals if required and being the point of contact between the event organiser and our operational manager.
