The Problem -
Event Safety Shouldn't Be an Afterthought Or a Compliance Risk
At EMFS, we take the complexity off your plate. One call. One provider. Full cover - medical, fire, or both.
Many providers aren't CQC registered
New 2025/26 regulations require any provider treating patients at events to be CQC registered. Many aren't. EMFS already is.
Separate providers create gaps in cover
Using different medical and fire providers creates coordination risk. A single integrated team means faster response and clearer command.
Licensing authorities are asking harder questions
Safety Advisory Groups now scrutinise the quality and credentials of event medical providers. Your documentation needs to hold up.
Event season fills up fast
Premium providers, especially those CQC-registered and experienced with large festivals, get booked early. Don't leave it too late.
The Rules Are Changing. EMFS is Already Ahead.
Regulatory Changes -
CQC Registration -
Now Required
New 2026/27 regulations remove exemptions that allowed some event medical providers to operate without CQC registration. Any provider treating disease, disorder or injury at events must now be registered. - Find out more here
🏥
Coming Soon
Licensing Scrutiny Increasing
Safety Advisory Groups are now actively reviewing the quality and registration status of event medical providers when processing Temporary Event Notices. Unregistered providers create licensing risk.
📋
Ongoing
A series of significant regulatory changes are reshaping event safety requirements in England. If you organise events, you need to understand these - and ensure your provider does too.
Martyn's Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025)
Events with 200+ attendees will face new legal duties around security planning and emergency preparedness. Enhanced tier obligations apply to events with 800+ attendees. Enforcement expected from 2027.
🛡️
EMFS is Already Fully Compliant

Justin Park, Health & Safety Manager
“EMFS have provided Fortnum & Mason with a highly professional and pragmatic approach to fire risk assessment, aligned to the realities of operating a busy, high-profile retail and hospitality environment. From the outset, their team took the time to
understand our specific needs and risks, focusing on delivering proportionate, practical solutions rather than unnecessary upselling, and worked flexibly around our operational schedule to ensure minimal disruption.
A particular strength is their multi-user, interactive digital fire risk assessment platform, which has given us clear visibility and control across multiple areas of the business through live updates, improved oversight, and greater accountability. EMFS are not just a compliance provider; they are a solutions-focused partner, and their ongoing support and follow-up have ensured actions are identified, implemented, and maintained. I would have no hesitation in recommending EMFS to organisations looking for a reliable and forward-thinking fire safety partner.”
