Swing Dance Society

Last-minute weekend cover for a national dance event

When their original provider pulled out at the last minute, the Society needed a confident, documented event medical plan in days - not weeks.

What the client needed

The Swing Dance Society had their original first-aid provider drop out a few days before a multi-day national event. Their venue and committee both expected documented medical cover, including a written healthcare plan and a post-event report - not just "a first aider on the door".

What we did

  • Triaged the brief over a 30-minute call: site, attendance shape, ground conditions, demographics, alcohol risk, and access for emergency services.
  • Issued a fixed-price quote the same day with the proposed staffing model.
  • Produced a written event healthcare plan covering deployment, treatment area, comms, and escalation to the local ambulance service.
  • Delivered cover across the weekend with the agreed responder team.
  • Wrote up a clear post-event report for the committee’s records.

What changed

  • The Society could go ahead with the event with full documented cover.
  • The committee had a paper trail that satisfied their venue and insurer.
  • They’ve now made LightMed their default provider for future events.

Light Medical reached out and offered us affordable professional cover even with such short notice. They provided an event healthcare plan prior to the event and also provided a post event report which were very thorough and comprehensive.
