First Response

Event First Aider.

Festival season needs you.

Event first aiders staff the medical points and crowd lines of festivals, matches and shows: assessing, treating and escalating in the middle of the noise. The FREC 3 qualification is the recognised route, and every summer season creates paid shifts for people who hold it.
