Film & TV Medical Cover

Professional and comprehensive event medical cover

At Amvale Scotland, we provide specialist film and television medical cover services, supporting production companies, broadcasters, studios, location managers and event organisers throughout Scotland and across the UK.

Modern productions often involve complex environments, demanding schedules and challenging filming conditions. Whether operating in a controlled studio setting, remote outdoor location, urban environment or specialist filming site, ensuring access to professional medical support is an essential part of maintaining a safe and successful production.

Our experienced medical teams work closely with production managers, health and safety coordinators, location managers and event organisers to provide tailored medical cover based on the specific risks associated with each project. Every production is different, which is why we assess individual requirements before recommending an appropriate level of medical support.

From large-scale television productions and feature films to advertising campaigns, documentaries and live broadcasts, our medical professionals help production companies meet their duty of care responsibilities while providing reassurance to cast, crew and contractors.

Whether your production requires a set medic for a single day or ongoing medical cover throughout an extended filming schedule, Amvale Scotland can provide flexible and professional solutions designed around your operational needs.

Film and television productions can vary significantly in scale and complexity. A small commercial shoot may require a single experienced medic on site, while a large television drama or feature film may need more extensive medical planning and support.

At Amvale Scotland, we understand that every production presents its own challenges. Our team can provide support for filming taking place in studios, city centres, rural locations, sporting venues, industrial environments and remote outdoor settings.

We regularly work alongside production teams to help ensure medical requirements are appropriately considered as part of the wider safety strategy. By identifying potential risks in advance and providing suitable medical resources, we help create safer working environments for everyone involved in the production.

From cast and crew welfare to emergency response preparedness, our services are designed to help production companies operate with confidence while maintaining high standards of health and safety management.

Scotland has become one of the UK’s leading filming destinations, attracting major television productions, feature films, streaming content and commercial projects each year.

With filming frequently taking place in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness, Dundee and remote Highland locations, access to dependable medical cover is increasingly important. Our teams can support productions operating throughout Scotland while also providing UK-wide coverage where required.

Whether filming is taking place over a single day or several months, we can provide scalable medical support tailored to the size and risk profile of the production

I used Amvale to transport my Mum from a care home in Birmingham up to Glasgow. I was really worried how she’d cope, it’s been many years since she’s travelled anywhere. Everyone I dealt with at Amvale was lovely, calls answered quickly, time taken to explain the service, updates on the journey and all at a very fair price. Thanks so much to all the team for making the process so smooth and easy. Highly recommend

Really enjoyed the FREC 3 First Responder course in Aberdeen. Paul was a great trainer — really knowledgeable, patient and engaging, and made the whole course interesting and easy to follow. There was a good mix of theory and practical work, and Paul was always happy to answer questions and explain things again when needed. I came away feeling much more confident in dealing with emergency situations. I’d definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to develop their first responder skills. Great course and a great trainer!

My father was transported from a Glasgow hospital to his new home in Wiltshire. I apologise I don't have the names of the paramedics who facilitated the transfer, but they were outstanding in their professionalism, compassion and good humour. He was so well looked after throughout the journey, and even enjoyed a sleep on the chair that folds down to a substantial bed in the back of the ambulance. Having considered alternatives (plane, train, private vehicle) for this 500 mile journey, this was definitely the best choice, and I am very grateful to the team and the company for getting my father to me in a timely manner and in good form. Thankyou.

The hospital was unable to provide an ambulance to take my brother in law home. He was getting palliative care and time was short. I contacted Amvale and Joe managed to get a crew together within a couple of hours. The 2 staff who transfered my brother in law were amazing. Our family and support staff can't thank them enough. Colin passed away within a few hours at home with his sister by his side. Thank you.

FREC3 Amvale Glasgow Excellent 5 day course from start to finish. It was at times overwhelming with the amount of information the course contained but it was very well run and structured. We had the best trainer (Stevie McKenzie ) who broke it down and made it easier to process and digest. His very realistic approach when it came to the practical training was vital for me as it showed me the fast pace I’d be expected to work at as a first responder. By the end of the course I had gained the knowledge and practice I needed to have the confidence in my abilities. I got on really well with fellow students on the course. We bonded instantly and worked well together as a team. I would highly recommend this 5 day course regardless of experience or knowledge. All the staff at the Amvale Glasgow training centre are so welcoming, friendly, approachable and supportive. Big thanks to Andrew Short and Melissa who are lovely, friendly and happy to answer any queries relating to the course. Date of experience: 22 January 2024

Highly Recommend Amvale Scotland a superb service. We used Amvale for private ambulance transport for my elderly mother from Scotland to England, Borders General Hospital to Solihull care home. My mum felt safe on what was a very long journey well cared for by trained professional staff. So glad we used Amvale in transporting such a precious cargo.

From my first call to the safe delivery of my mum from Dumfries hospital to Leeds, Andrew was very helpful and gave me the confidence my 91 old mother would be in very safe hands. The ambulance arrived as promised and my mother was full of praise at how well she had been treated and delivered to her assisted flat. I was given a breakdown of timings with the crew calling me when they were 30 minutes away. The price was very reasonable and I have nothing but praise for the first class service. Would tell anyone looking for a private ambulance to use this service!
