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.
