The company's director of operations, Matt Staley-Harrison, said the aim of medics was to relieve the pressure on paramedics.
He said: "We are working together with all emergency services throughout the festive period to create a safer night for party goers.
"I must emphasise though we are not replacing the NHS, we are there to treat minor injuries to take the pressure of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service so they are only responding to life threatening calls."
