Using the term set medic for TV or Film medical requirements is often a misnomer.
Actually, there are three types of medics employed for every Film / TV production: set medics, off-production medics and the key medic.
Our medics will always be on set, on site and on radio - you will not find our medics sat in cars or trailers. Set Medics UK are highly experienced in TV & Film medical cover pre, during and post filming and are very aware of SETIQUETTE and always happy to help the production in any way we can.
We will be right there with you in case we are needed. We ensure you have access to proper medical support, correct medical equipment and our staff have extensive training to reduce injury and potentially save lives. Set Medics UK provide one-2-one attention and care that is second to none.
