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.
