Details

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is overseeing the development of an Event Healthcare Standard to address recommendations from the Manchester Arena Inquiry regarding the standardisation of healthcare provision at events.

In 2024, DHSC and NHS England commissioned research into healthcare provision at events through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to inform the writing of the standard.

As part of this research, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) conducted a rapid scoping review (search date: October 2024) using streamlined systematic methodologies to accelerate the review process.

The purpose of this scoping review was to identify current guidance with the aim of informing the development of an Event Healthcare Standard.
