Yes, we have a group of skilled and reliable medical personnel and trainers available for placement; from Paramedics with recent ‘on-road’ experience, to professional sports trainers with Occupational First Aid, Spinal Injury Management and Pain Management qualifications. Marc recruits directly from his own Professional Sports Medic courses; and those selected then receive ongoing professional development and mentorship to ensure that they are not only competent, but also confident, in the necessary skills required to keep your staff, participants and guests as safe as possible.

Marc is a nationally registered Paramedic; and provides services to the full extent of his professional scope of practice. This includes the use of a range of equipment and medications that require the support of a Medical Practitioner (Doctor) for prescribing and advisory purposes. Marc has developed strategic alliances with a number of other highly qualified medical professionals, including Doctors, Emergency Nursing staff, Physiotherapists and others. If you would like to have a Doctor or Physiotherapist in attendance at your event, we can certainly arrange this for you.

Yes, in fact Marc still spends about 35% of his time either working in remote environments himself, or preparing others to do the same. This includes helping advanced first aiders and medics to build the necessary skills to provide extended care in remote or austere environments.
