Sentinel provides independent consultancy relating to first aid and event medical governance. Our services are designed to provide organisations with structured oversight, clear documentation, and defensible compliance.
We undertake structured assessments to determine appropriate first aid and medical provision for events. Assessments consider audience profile, environmental conditions, duration, site layout, access and egress, safeguarding interface, and escalation pathways.
Outputs are documented clearly and designed to support engagement with stakeholders and Safety Advisory Groups.
Sentinel supports the development and independent review of event medical plans. Our work focuses on clarity of responsibility, defined scope of provision, escalation procedures, and alignment with recognised guidance.
Plans are structured to withstand scrutiny and provide operational clarity.
Employers are required to provide adequate and appropriate first aid arrangements. Sentinel undertakes independent reviews of workplace risk to determine whether existing provision remains sufficient.
Assessments consider operational hazards, staffing structures, shift patterns, lone working, and site distribution.
We conduct structured audits of existing arrangements to identify gaps in governance and documentation. Audits typically review needs assessments, training records, responsibility allocation, escalation procedures, and documentation currency.
Findings are presented through clear and prioritised reporting.
Where organisations appoint external medical or first aid providers, clear specification and oversight are essential. Sentinel supports clients in defining competence expectations, developing procurement criteria, and reviewing provider submissions.
This ensures alignment between organisational governance requirements and operational delivery.
