What We Provide
Experience
Our extensive experience training and working with frontline emergency consultants, doctors, nurses and emergency services personnel across Ireland, made it possible for us to deliver a comprehensive range of cost effective medical support services to many of the largest mass gathering events held in this country. Thousands of event attendees each year receive expert on-site medical attention from Codeblue medical personnel. Our Medical Director provides medical oversight to ensure best practice and continuity of care at all of our events.
Proven Communication Structure
We provide certified on-site medical controllers, experienced in dispatching statutory emergency service personnel, vehicles and resources throughout Ireland. Using a Codeblue Medical Co-Ordinator and Medical Controller avoids confusion among the medical support providers and event organisers.
