Only five members of medical staff were working on the night of the Brixton O2 Academy crush, half the recommended number.
Insiders claimed two of those had been first responders, a generic term which can cover a variety of competency levels.
The insiders claimed of the five people working for Collingwood at the venue, none had a paramedic qualification. The firm declined to comment on specific qualifications for each of the five medical staff, but insisted ‘all staff present were qualified to carry out the scope of practice they were contracted to perform’.‘They have to be supervised by a paramedic, not by anybody of a lower grade. They didn’t have appropriate supervision,’ they added.
