"With the advent of statutory regulation and the Event Healthcare Standard, the provision of medical care at events is at last receiving the attention and scrutiny it has hitherto lacked.
This well-presented book deserves a wide readership, both as a concise and authoritative text for students of event management and a useful reference for medical providers, event organisers and licensing authorities.”
