We are hopeful that we will be able to provide some camping at Digital Plus, but we cannot yet confirm this until we have done further work with our medical team. In order to be able to offer overnight camping on the showground for the wide age and health range that attend United we require a very high level of medical provision. Effectively we build a “field hospital” that is open 24/7. We need volunteer medical team members and contracted paramedics as well as local healthcare agencies with capacity to accept urgent care patients from United. The cost of this provision is high, not only financially but also in terms of human cost from our volunteer medical workers. In 2021 they will not have the normal capacity after all that they have faced due to covid – they, and the NHS will still be in recovery. We will work together to offer a scale of medical provision to enable overnight camping for Digital Plus, but the current challenges on our healthcare system mean this is not yet confirmed. We will continue to work on this with the medical team, the local healthcare and safety advisory groups and will let you know as soon as this situation changes.
