About Us

We believe in best-practice event medicine so that event organizers can deliver their events safely and with confidence. Best practice event medicine involves:

1. Mitigating or treating the issues that event organizers worry about (serious injury or illness)

2. Managing the issues that participants are concerned about (uncomfortable or potentially race-ending illness or injuries)

3. Minimizing the impact of your event on local statutory healthcare and rescue resources.

Shelter Stone arose from the desire to provide gold-standard, robust, appropriate and evidence-based Event Medical and Safety cover.

A combination of data analysis (from past or similar events), our extensive experience, and your event ethos allows us to position the right clinicians, with the right medications and equipment, with access to experienced clinical oversight, such that we mitigate the impact of your event on local resources including urgent treatment centers, A&Es, ambulance trusts, and mountain rescue teams. This is a crucial step for fulfilling an event organiser's obligations as defined in best practice guidance described in the Purple Guide.

Where we need to call on support from such resources, Shelter Stone can provide interoperability with the emergency services to minimize duplication of assets or assessments and ensure the smoothest possible pathway for the participant involved. Our team also integrates with your event management team and/or volunteers, minimizing the potential errors which naturally arise from human factors or communication issues and ensuring you have the oversight you need for decision-making at your event.

The team at Shelter Stone have blended excellence in event operations and event medicine whilst building sustainable and integrated relationships with the event organisers we support.
