What Medicore Ambulance Services Uk does

Medicore Ambulance Services UK Ltd is a private UK ambulance operator incorporated under company registration no. 09383902 and headquartered in Old Buckenham, Norfolk. The company is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as an ambulance service provider, accredited by Qualsafe for training delivery, and registered with the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) as a clinical practice guideline provider. Its asset base is described as the UK's most extensive fleet of GPS-tracked emergency vehicles, staffed by doctors, registered paramedics, Emergency Nurses and Emergency Medical Technicians, operating 24/7 nationwide.

The company operates across three revenue lines. First, patient transport services covering emergency and non-emergency ambulance work for NHS trusts and private healthcare clients, with a proprietary Electronic Patient Care Report (ePCR) system. Second, event and specialist medical cover, including event medical services scalable from single practitioners to fully deployed mobile field hospitals for festivals of up to 150,000 attendees, plus dedicated film and TV on-set cover and specialist transport for bariatric, transplant (climate-controlled vehicles), and international repatriation cases. Third, a Qualsafe-accredited training academy delivering eight courses (Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid, BLS/ILS/CPR&AED, Mental Health First Aider, FREC3, FREC4 and SALM) at per-learner prices ranging from £50 to £494+VAT, with delivery either on-site at client premises or at training venues.

Commercially, Medicore employs a direct sales-led model through phone, email and a website contact form, addressing NHS trusts, private healthcare buyers, event organisers, film/TV production companies, and individual or corporate training customers. Marketing is concentrated on the company's medicore.uk website as the primary digital channel. The firm maintains a sister-company relationship with Medicore Medical Services (Ireland, founded 2008) for cross-border knowledge sharing. No public funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue figures are disclosed; the UK entity appears to be a privately financed, mid-sized operator scaling through service-line breadth rather than external capital.
