Offshore Medics

The level of medical cover we offer ranges from providing NHS registered nurse, military remote medic grade nurse, to a full medical team including specialised occupational health physicians, A&E consultants, GP’s and senior specialist consultants.

Our team differs from that of our competitors as we are a fully compliant NHS approved clinical practice with the ability and skill set to manage any medical scenario for our clients.

Our ability to provide specialist medical opinion via our team of consultants to our remote medics coupled with extensive experience of arranging complex and routine medical evacuations, and the option to treat onshore here in Aberdeen means our service is unrivalled.

Because of who we are and what we do, we can also ensure that our medics are maintained to the highest clinical standards; across our businesses clinical governance and current skills practice is at the heart of everything we do. Our teams are working in the here and now within the best clinical practice in hospitals throughout the UK, this allows us to promote and maintain the best clinical care to our clients and ensure that our medics are competent and capable.

We pride ourselves in ensuring that our remote medics have the best of support and that our team fully understand the complexities of the offshore environment, whether it be:

Weather conditions
Access to helicopter mobilisation schedules
Extensive travel routes, combined with potential time impact to the nearest reception centre
Limitations of an offshore vessel for medevac
Regulatory impacts such as HSE reporting and OSHA guidelines

We understand that the patient welfare is the primary focus, but we also understand that our clients need us to be aware, informed, responsive and most of all have clear and open communications.

What we do differentely

They will also feel empowered to raise concerns about unsafe practices and to act on these.

Ensuring that staff do not work excessive hours
Providing areas for rest and relaxation
Protecting staff from bullying or harassment, either from colleagues or third parties
