An offshore medic must be able to operate independently of definitive care facilities, have a thorough understanding of his/her limitations and resources, be aware of the dangers of remote environments and be adaptable and flexible to an ever-changing arena.
Remote environment medics operating within the oil, gas and exploration industry are subject to a 4 week HSE accredited course. A refresher course after 3 years is mandatory to allow the medic to continue practising.
