Our dedicated teams deliver first-class first aid care.

We are registered with the Charities Regulator as a charity, funds raised support our charitable cause.
When booking an event many factors affect the level of cover you may require.
How do we decide what level of cover you need?
- Experience. For example, whether you have run the event before, the previous casualty rates, and any learning points.
- The circumstances of the event. As an example, whether it is a licensed music event where aclochols is available or a sports event.
- Whether the event is indoors or outdoors, and the location.
- Whether the audience is seated or standing.
- The profile of the likely audience. As an example whether it is a family-oriented event or likely to attract people of a certain age profile.
- Size of the likely audience.
- The kind of activity, whether it contains a higher risk than others.
- The time of year and duration of the event.
The event organiser may need to provide a risk assessment of the event as well as relevant insurance documents.
SJAI can provide the following:
- First aid responders
- Emergency medical technicians
- Paramedics and Advanced paramedics
- Nurses
- Doctors
- Ambulances for all levels of care
