Caveats & model limits

  • crowd_doctor_threshold Event Practitioner = registered HCPC/NMC specialist-level clinician meeting the doctor training/major-incident requirements; dedicated role, no dual-tasking.
  • first_aider_ratio Deviation permitted only if substantiated by a Medical Needs Assessment and recorded in the Medical Plan.
  • first_aider_ratio_seated Corrected 6th-ed breakpoint: seated-only switches to +1/2,000 ABOVE 10,000 (supersedes the 5th-ed "switch at 20,000" paraphrase).
  • ambulance_band_1 Ambulance CQC-registered; in addition to athlete/player provision. Officer required for all >5,000 unless alternative agreed in Medical Plan.
  • ambulance_band_2 BA-VERIFY ceiling resolved: primary source confirms 45,000 top band. Flag cleared.
  • ambulance_band_3 MIRV + control unit waivable if substantiated in Medical Plan (note 3).
  • ambulance_band_4 Top band confirmed at 45,000 (not 40,000). Ambulances CQC-registered; additional to athlete provision.
  • medical_room_sizing Dedicated-use room; specified fittings: auxiliary power, hot/cold water, comms line, prescription-only-medicine cabinet.
  • medical_coordinator Distinct from the Event Doctor (clinical oversight vs event delivery at larger grounds).
