Topside Medical Support is a critical aspect of the offshore industry, providing remote medical advice services through our Emergeny Response Physicians to handle any medical issues that may arise during offshore work. These medical professionals are highly trained and experienced in emergency medicine and are able to provide immediate medical assistance and advice, regardless of the location of the offshore facility.

​

Offshore work is inherently dangerous, and the presence of trained medical staff is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of all workers. However, the remoteness of many offshore facilities can create significant challenges in accessing medical care quickly in the event of an emergency.

​

To address this challenge, offshore facilities use Topside Medical Support, also known as Emergency Response Physicians. These physicians are available around the clock and can provide consultations via phone or e-mail to assess the situation and provide guidance to the onsite medical staff. In cases where necessary, they can also provide medical evacuation advice, liaising with coastguards or other emergency services.

​

Topside Medical Support can also provide preventive healthcare, advising workers on how to avoid illness or injury, and ensuring that the offshore facility is equipped with appropriate medical supplies and equipment.

​

The role of Topside Medical Support is particularly important in the offshore industry, where the potential for accidents and emergencies is high. These medical professionals provide an additional layer of support to onsite medical staff and can make a critical difference in the outcome of a medical emergency.

​

Overall, Topside Medical Support is an essential service for the offshore industry, ensuring the safety and well-being of all workers. With their expertise and remote on-call emergency response services, they are an invaluable resource for any offshore facility.
