Medical Emergency Response

Supporting Calm, Responsible Action During Medical Emergencies

Security Officers are frequently among the first people to become aware of a medical emergency. Their initial response can affect access, communication, scene control and the speed with which appropriate assistance reaches the person concerned.

Programme Overview

The Medical Emergency Response Programme develops awareness of the procedures, responsibilities and precautions associated with medical emergencies in a security environment.

The programme does not replace recognised medical or first-aid qualifications. It helps security personnel understand how to recognise an emergency, summon appropriate assistance, control the immediate environment and support an organised response within the limits of their training and authority.

Who Should Attend?

Security Officers who may encounter workplace or public medical emergencies
Access-control and reception security personnel
Patrol, estate and school security personnel
Control-room staff responsible for coordinating assistance

On completion of the programme, participants should be better prepared to:

Recognise circumstances that may constitute a medical emergency.

Identify broad categories of medical emergencies.
Initiate an appropriate communication and escalation process.

Apply essential response steps within the limits of their role and training.
