What is an OEUK Medical?

The OEUK Medical is the health certificate Offshore Energies UK requires of everyone working on the UK continental shelf. It was previously called OGUK, and both names are still used across the industry. The certificate documents that you are medically fit for offshore work, including evacuation during emergencies.

It can only be issued by a doctor registered and approved by OEUK. Helle Wibe has been an OEUK-approved doctor since 2006 and has carried out more than 20,000 medical examinations.

Frequently asked questions

Is it called OGUK or OEUK?

It is the same certificate. Offshore Energies UK was previously Oil & Gas UK, and the certificate changed name along with the organisation. Many operators and staffing agencies still write OGUK in their requirements.

How long is the certificate valid?

Up to two years. With certain health conditions the doctor may set a shorter validity, which we agree with you on the day.

Can I take the certificate home the same day?

Yes, as a rule the certificate is issued immediately after the examination, so you are ready for departure.

What if I do not pass part of the examination?

We always review the result with you and advise on the options, for example supplementary examinations or statements. We are with you all the way to the answer.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. Enter the company name and any PO number when booking, and we will send the invoice directly to the company.
