Festival Medical Services has been providing healthcare services at Glastonbury festival since 1979. It has several medical tents and pharmacies that primarily deal with minor injuries, including bruised ankles, sprains and heat exhaustion.
In an interview with The Guardian, Chris Howes, managing director of Festival Medical Services, said, “We have a dental clinic here, and we did notice that there are a lot of people very early on after we opened who were turning up with dental problems.”
The centre opened a month before the festival officially started to provide emergency care for staff and construction crews setting up facilities. Chris commented, “We’ve seen a lot of the site crew, people working here on the build, who haven’t had access to a dentist either because they don’t have one or they couldn’t get off to see someone.
