How it Works
Only medical practitioners that are registered with Oil and Gas UK can perform OEUK medicals. KINNECT has a register of practitioners nationally that are approved to perform OEUK medicals to mobilise workers to offshore environments. These medical practitioners are approved to provide an OEUK accredited medical certificate.
All approved practitioners have knowledge of the offshore environment and have undertaken a training program in offshore medical assessment.

- Audiometry
- Urinalysis
- Vision
- Medical History

FAQ
Which other countries will accept an OEUK medical certificate?
An OEUK medical certificate is also accepted in Norway and the Netherlands. However, a restricted OEUK medical certificate is not accepted outside the UK.
How long is an OEUK Medical valid for?
An OEUK accredited medical certificate result is valid for 2 years if the individual is deemed medically fit.
What happens if I am deemed unfit and believe this is incorrect?
If you do not meet the medical guidelines to obtain a certificate, your examining doctor should explain the reason behind this. If you believe your medical assessment is not representative of your current state of health, a review process may be implemented. This review process includes three other examining doctors reviewing your documentation.
Who should I contact with further questions?
Any queries should be emailed to doctors@oilandgasuk.co.uk.
