Medical training unit

The competency of the medics we provide to our clients is critical to ensure the best quality of medical care.  To ensure that all of our medics meet the required competence standard, we deliver training courses at our medical training unit. 

The courses delivered have been developed in line with industry requirements.  They are subject to regular audit and are reviewed regularly to ensure that they comply with relevant regulation, and meet approval from bodies such as the Health and Safety Executive, the Royal Environmental Health Institute and the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care based within the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

Our courses are delivered by our in-house team of training officers, who are all health care professionals with years of experience in the industry, including remote area medicine, and involvement with rescue organisations. The training officers work closely with the health teams both in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), and globally. 

To make sure the highest standard of pre-hospital care is met, all of our training courses include a knowledge-based theory element, followed by practical assessment to ensure the highest level of competency.

We maintain strong industrial links, sensible operational practices, and enthusiasm to make sure our courses are based on the best available evidence, which is vital when choosing training activities.

  • Medical emergency response training (MERT)
  • HSE offshore medics
  • Acute paediatric emergencies in remote environments
  • Specialist rescue
  • HSE first aid at work
