Medirek supports productions nationally and internationally. For overseas shoots with UK crew, Medirek can bring UK healthcare standards with the production, support the management of incidents abroad, and help make sure crew are returned to the UK appropriately with the support they need.
When a UK crew travels, the medical plan needs to travel with them. Local healthcare can be very different from what your crew expect.
How Medirek supports overseas shoots
- UK healthcare standards: Medirek clinicians travel with the production, working under Medirek's clinical governance.
- Planning before you fly: medical risk assessment for the location, the activities and the crew.
- Incident management abroad: support in managing illness and injury, and in dealing with local healthcare if someone needs it.
- Getting crew home: helping make sure crew are returned to the UK appropriately, with the necessary support.
- Remote and specialist locations: paramedics paired with nurses and even doctors where definitive care may be far away.
Across the UK, too
Medirek's home ground is Surrey, London and the South East, but it supports productions anywhere in the UK. Outside its core area, the price is the base day rate with mileage, or accommodation and board, added. How pricing works.
