An Offshore medical is normally valid for two years and should only be carried out by or under the supervision of examining physicians who are approved by Oil & Gas UK. A list of approved physicians is available at Oil & Gas Registered Doctors<\/a>. The guidelines are with specific reference to the UK offshore industry but are often used as the basis for assessments in other geographical locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently an offshore medical certificate can be used by those involved in the construction and maintenance of wind farms in a maritime environment. The Renewable UK standard medical examination specific for wind farm workers can also be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SWIMS can offer medicals for Oil & Gas UK<\/strong> (formally UKOOA) for working in the UK or the Norwegian sectors<\/strong>. The Oil & Gas UK medical standards are internationally accepted although some companies may have additional requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a medical problem it is best to talk to us at SWIMS before\nbooking your medical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your first medical includes a hearing test (audiometry), lung function test (spirometry), urine test, blood pressure test, weight and body mass index, dental check<\/strong> and full clinical examination<\/strong>. Confirmation of dental fitness is an important part of the medical assessment. Contact us<\/a> for more information or to book an appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
