The Nine Clinic

OEUK Medical Examinations in London

Anyone working in the offshore oil, gas and energy industry on UK installations must hold a valid OEUK medical certificate before going offshore. The Nine Clinic provides OEUK-compliant medical examinations in London for professionals in the offshore energy sector, assessing fitness to work in environments that carry specific physical and occupational demands.

Our clinics on Harley Street and Sloane Square offer prompt, structured assessments. We understand that workers and employers need results quickly, and that delays to certification can have direct operational consequences.

What Does an OEUK Medical Examination Include?

An OEUK medical is a comprehensive assessment designed to ensure that individuals are physically and medically fit to work safely offshore. Our clinicians review cardiovascular health, respiratory function, general fitness, vision, hearing and occupational suitability, with specific reference to the conditions workers will face in offshore environments.

The examination follows the standards set by Offshore Energies UK, the trade body that governs medical fitness requirements for the UK offshore energy sector. Certificates are typically valid for two years, though this can vary depending on age and any identified health conditions. Our doctors will advise on renewal timescales at the point of assessment.

Who Needs an OEUK Medical?

OEUK medicals are required for anyone employed or contracted to work on offshore oil and gas platforms, wind farm installations, subsea operations and other offshore energy structures covered by the OEUK standard. This applies not only to technical and operational roles but also to supervisory and support staff who work in these environments on a regular basis.

Professionals whose work combines offshore operations with international travel may also require broader medical clearance. Our offshore and travel-related medical assessments cover the combined requirements of those working across multiple environments.

For companies managing teams of offshore workers, our occupational health services in London provide a practical framework for coordinating assessments across a workforce and keeping certification up to date.

Prompt Assessments, Clear Documentation

We know that certificate renewal deadlines and operational start dates are not flexible. Our clinics offer appointments with minimal waiting time, and our doctors produce clear, properly formatted medical reports that meet the documentation requirements of employers, contractors and offshore operators.
