If you need to do patch for all the tests you can do this in setUpClass method:

class RemoteServiceTest(unittest.TestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.patchers = []
        patcher = patch('application.PushService.trigger_event')
        cls.patchers.append(patcher)
        trigger_mock = patcher.start()
        trigger_mock.return_value = 'Some return value'

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        for patcher in cls.patchers:
            patcher.stop()

    def test1(self):
        # Test actions

    def test2(self):
        # Test actions

    def test3(self):
        # Test actions

setUpClass is called once per class (test suite in this case). Inside this method you can set all patchers that you need to be used by all tests.
