Over 250 exhibitors will have the opportunity to showcase the latest products, innovations and services available to emergency responders.
Categories include:
At the forefront of effective co-responding comes inter-agency communication. The exhibition will host an array of organisations specialising in this critical area.
Often essential for the effectiveness of immediate care and therefore the outcome of the patient’s condition, first response equipment is always at the top of any emergency organisations list.
A growing area of emergency response is the protection of the emergency personnel themselves from simple respiratory protection to full body protection. All types of protection will be represented at this event.
It is a known fact that the more you train and educate the better you become and most emergency personnel undergo continuous training and education programmes. Companies specialising in this type of on-going learning will be exhibiting too.
A growing number of rescues require special rescue techniques that require specialist medical equipment and many examples of these can be found at the show.
From paramedic bicycles to fire bikes, underground rescue stretchers to the latest fire engines – all will be on display at the show.
It gets forgotten that, even in an emergency, most businesses have to continue to operate and the show hosts organisations that specialise in keeping businesses going!
Delivering best practice sometimes means that products and/or services have to be outsourced and working with external organisations is a way to achieve the most cost effective and efficient outcome.
An intrinsic part of the exhibition is the Emergency Response Zone, dedicated to organisations that offer specialist services in responding to an emergency. Encapsulating the spirit of the Civil Contingencies Act, the Zone enables Category 1 and 2 Responders and support agencies to share information and learn more about each other’s functions and constraints.
The Emergency Response Zone has been extended for 2008. This new section comprises fire and rescue services, police forces and ambulance services, encouraging the sharing of best practice and promoting inter service cooperation.
