Film Crew/ Media Medical Support – Medics and Equipment

Extreme environments, managing medical risk and providing gold-standard medical backup is WEMs core business. We have been supporting some of the world’s largest, and some the smallest, media productions quietly, without a fuss for the past two decades and our client lists speaks for itself;

Paramount Studios, Viacom, CBS Survivor, CBS, Amazon Prime, BBC Natural History Unit, BBC TV, BBC Children in Need, European Music Awards, Channel4, ITV TV, Discovery, Universal Pictures, MTV, Working Title Films and Ginger Productions.

“We contracted a large medical team made up of doctors, paramedics and nurses through World Extreme Medicine Limited for our 6-month remote location shoot in Fiji and we couldn’t be happier. The team from the top down were extremely professional and easy to deal with at all levels of the operation. Ultimately our number one concern is the health and safety of our cast and crew and at all times it felt we were in extremely capable hands. From a logistics and production standpoint we also really appreciate the professionalism and “can do” attitude these guys bring to the table. They are a real pleasure to work with and I hope to continue our relationship with WEM for many years to come.”Jesse Jensen – Co-Executive Producer – US ‪Survivor

We can provide full Expedition Medical Support for production teams and celebrities on your television or photographic project worldwide. We have an impressive portfolio of experienced medical professionals on our books, many of whom have media experience both on and off camera. Using WEM to provide your Expedition Medical Support resolves some of the most important logistical and safety considerations of foreign travel in remote environments.

“Behind every challenge and adventure is a logistics team that work tirelessly behind the scenes. World Extreme Medicine provide the support and logistics that ensured a safe and successful adventure. They organised the event in record time without compromising safety or quality.

Quite simply, we couldn’t have done it without them”.   Ben Fogle
