Note that restricted Oil & Gas UK medical certificates are NOT accepted outside the UK sector.

The examining doctor should fully explain the Oil & Gas UK medical guidelines and the reason why you do not meet them, if this is the case. Should you consider that the examining doctor has not reasonably dealt with your medical assessment in accordance with the guidelines, you may contact the Oil & Gas UK Medical Adviser in the first instance.
