Connecting offshore workers with experienced doctors

Industry policies require that offshore workers must be regularly assessed by a doctor to make sure they are fit for their working environment.

This page is for offshore workers looking for a registered doctor, and for doctors looking to join our registered list.

Doctors registered with us should:

  • Have knowledge of the offshore environment or similar remote working environments
  • Have knowledge of occupational medicine
  • Have access to appropriate examination facilities
  • Undertake a one-day training programme in offshore medical assessment (attendees should have sufficient understanding of and ability in spoken English to participate in the training without an interpreter)
  • Be able to understand and follow the principles of the risk-based approach embodied in the guidelines.

Checking validity of certificates

Anyone wishing to check the validity of an OEUK medical certificate should:

a) Check that the doctor is on the OEUK list
b) Check that the doctor is on the list at the clinic/facility/location/provider given on the certificate.

If the OEUK website does not confirm a) and b), contact [email protected], who can confirm if a doctor has moved, retired or left the list since the certificate was issued.

The procedure above will verify if the doctor named on the certificate was actually on the OEUK list at the issuing facility at the time. If it is suspected that the certificate may be invalid because a date, name or other detail may be incorrect, contact the issuing doctor/clinic/facility directly using the email, address or telephone number shown on the certificate. No other verification checks should be regarded as authoritative.
