A chirurgeon is a first-aid officer within the the SCA. If there are any first-aid issues that need to be tended to, then these are the people you see. They must hold at least a level 2 first-aid certificate in order to hold this position, and must report any incidents that occur during an event.
But note that they are not expected to do anything more than first-aid. If serious medical attention is required, a chirurgeon may seek the services of outside trained personnel, or tell the injured person to do so.
Also, a chirurgeon may only enter a field of combat at the request of a marshal. Likewise, the laws are written in such a way that a chirurgeon is urged to get injured people off the battlefield as fast as possible. Of course, that is not always possible.
