Why South Wales Medical Services
Is the Best Festival Organisers Choice
We don’t just know festival medicine — we live and breathe it.
From small community events to major UK festivals, SWMS delivers Purple Guide-compliant, clinician-led medical cover that keeps every attendee safe.
South Wales Medical Services (SWMS) provides professional, Purple Guide–aligned festival medical cover delivered by experienced, qualified staff — led and supported by frontline Ambulance Technicians and Paramedics.
Our structure ensures every deployment meets the highest standards of clinical care, documentation, and compliance — from small community gatherings to multi-day festivals with on-site medical centres and ambulance transport units.
What makes us different is our end-to-end partnership approach. From your first enquiry, you’ll have a dedicated Account Manager who supports you through every phase of your event:
Pre-event Medical Needs Assessment and risk profiling
Site visits and access route planning for aid points and emergency ingress/egress
Attendance at Safety Advisory Group (SAG) meetings and liaison with local authorities
Live-phase operations, ensuring real-time coordination with Event Control, Security, and Welfare teams
Break-down support and detailed post-event clinical/statistical reporting ready for licensing, insurance, and planning
We don’t just provide medical cover — we embed within your event planning, helping you build a safe, compliant, and enjoyable experience from concept to close-down.
