Abstract

This chapter discusses the challenges of evaluating appropriate medical cover for events through the consideration of risk, attitudes to risk, lack of guidance and practical case studies. There is no consistent, robust guidance at present which leads to a dependence on the event manager to discern the risks involved and select cover within the parameters of budget, scale and stakeholder needs.
