Medirek manages the medical side of film premieres, red carpet events, screenings, fan events and public launches. It assesses the medical risk, writes the medical plan, provides medics and paramedics, and can add safety management, so talent, guests, crew and the public are looked after.
A premiere or launch is part production, part public event. Crowds, barriers, long waits, talent arrivals and late finishes all change the risk.
What Medirek provides
- Medical risk assessment and medical plan for the venue, the crowd and the running order.
- Medics, paramedics and roving teams for the red carpet, fan areas and back of house.
- Treatment point where the size of the event calls for one.
- Safety management and liaison with the venue, security and the local authority where needed.
- Discreet care for talent and guests.
Medirek plans event medical cover against recognised guidance such as the Purple Guide and works with venues and Safety Advisory Groups. That experience comes from years of covering live events across the South East. Read about Medirek's event cover.
Frequently asked questions
Do premieres need medical cover?

Can you cover a fan event or screening?
Yes. Medirek can plan and staff medical cover for screenings, fan events, launches and press events.
