Many productions assume they can rely on the NHS in an emergency. However, the reality of modern emergency care in the UK means that response times can be unpredictable. It's no secret that the NHS is under increasing pressure. Productions that depend on public ambulance services risk long waits and filming delays.
In January 2025, The Guardian reported that over 1.5 million ambulance hours were lost due to delays outside A&E departments. This meant that ambulances were left waiting and were unavailable for new emergencies.
NHS Category 2 emergency response times for heart attacks and strokes have missed the 18-minute target. According to the British Heart Foundation, recent averages exceed 30 minutes.
NHS services prioritise life-threatening emergencies. Therefore, non-critical injuries on set may not receive immediate medical attention. Productions in need of urgent care for sprains, minor burns, or dehydration may face delays without private support.

Productions often involve physically demanding scenes, unpredictable environments, and large crews. Unfortunately, these all increase the likelihood of medical incidents. On-site ambulance support treats minor injuries and emergencies at once. This prevents costly delays. Unlike public emergency services, private paramedic teams are film industry experts. They respond on-site and integrate into production workflows. This proactive medical support reduces risk and protects the crew's well-being. It ensures filming can continue for high-risk scenes and tight schedules.
