Event first aid, welfare & operational readiness with depth.
I am available for freelance, sessional and associate work across event first aid, welfare support, training support and operational medical environments across Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Hampshire and the wider South / South West.
Who I am
I bring a rare combination of current first aid certification, former Advanced Life Support instruction, decades in high-pressure care environments, and practical event/welfare experience. My value is not only technical knowledge; it is calmness, communication, escalation awareness, documentation discipline and the ability to remain useful when environments become pressured.
ALS, AED and life support teaching background
Experience teaching life support principles, AED use, communication and emergency response to both professional and lay audiences.
Calm in live human environments
Useful where attendees, organisers, teams and responders need steady presence, clear communication and sensible escalation.
Welfare-aware first aid support
Particularly suited to festivals, retreats, wellness settings, private events, film/TV and mixed welfare/first aid environments.
What I am looking for now
I am seeking regular, well-aligned freelance or sessional work that also places me close to serious event medical teams, clinicians, governance leads and operationally mature providers.
Festival and private event first aid
First aid, welfare support, documentation, communication and escalation within professionally managed event medical teams.
Commercial first aid and practical response education
Associate instructor or training support opportunities where practical confidence-building and adult learning matter.
Retreat, wellness and emotionally intense settings
Calm, grounded support for settings where welfare awareness, boundaries and steady judgement are central to safety.
What FieldSafe is becoming
FieldSafe Medical & Welfare is being developed as a welfare-aware first aid, event readiness, documentation, escalation and operational safety platform. It is intended to support organisers, retreats, events and practitioners with clearer preparation, safer response and more coherent duty-of-care thinking.
