Medical Control, maybe?
If you are a bystander, Good Samaritan can protect you.
If you are being paid, it will not.
If you are unpaid but are having your services offered where it is required, it might or might not.
Where Good Sam fades out, protocols fade in. If you are fulfilling the mandatory role offering first aid on scene, and you are practicing beyond a first aid level, I suggest that you ought to have protocols in place.
Providing your own equipment causes more legal exposure if it can be argued the stuff you brought was insufficient or defective in a manner you were responsible for.
