John Quinn – Chief Executive Officer
john.quinn@medcoveruk.com | info@medcoveruk.com
John established MedCover UK Ltd in December 2021 following a distinguished 28-year career in the British Army as a Combat Medical Technician (CMT), culminating in his appointment as Warrant Officer Class 1 (WO1), Regimental Sergeant Major.
Throughout his military career, John delivered medical treatment, operational healthcare support, and advanced training to both UK and international personnel in some of the world’s most austere and high-risk environments. His deployments and instructional roles have included service in the UK, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Canada, Cyprus, Germany, Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo, Macedonia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Since transitioning into the civilian sector, John has combined his clinical and leadership experience with operational expertise as an Offshore Medic and Health & Safety Advisor, working within safety-critical energy environments. This dual perspective — frontline clinical response and strategic health & safety leadership — underpins the ethos of MedCover UK.
In July 2023, at the inaugural National Armed Forces and Emergency Services Event, John was awarded “Most Outstanding British Army” in recognition of his community outreach initiatives and charitable work delivered through MedCover UK.
John’s leadership philosophy is simple:
“At MedCover UK we are an experienced, credible, integrity-led organisation. Our instructors are subject matter experts in their fields, yet humble enough to understand that confidence-building is the foundation of effective training.”
