Whether you are involved in event safety, event planning, or a front-line clinician, NEMO aims to be a central point to gather opinion, collate the data, and present the evidence to the event industries regulatory bodies.
Improving governance standards is not only for the present day, but also a means to establishing sector frameworks for challenges that may be on the horizon.

Whether it’s a music concert in Manchester, a sporting event in Birmingham, or a beach festival on the coast of Cornwall, NEMO wants to inform the national standards by which event medical care is delivered.
NEMO will provide analysis of event medicine studies, undertake research, provide clinician led data interpretation, advocate that clinicians are identifying what works best for clinicians, and offer clinical support for non-clinical researchers.
NEMO aims to inform the ‘narrative’ that is an evidence-based approach to Event Medicine.
