This preparatory training course ensures that examining doctors have sufficient knowledge of the UK offshore oil and gas industry to undertake Oil & Gas UK medical examinations. The workshops attract attendees from oil and gas regions all around the world where Oil & Gas UK’s medical standards are adopted.

The topics for 2015 included: • SAR arrangements in the UK • Passenger size – response to CAP1145 • Anaphylaxis • ADHD • View from abroad – Ebola in Nigeria • Alternative methods of medical assessment • Revisions to Oil & Gas UK medical guidance

The CAA’s CAP1145 actions and recommendations have

significantly broadened the number of work streams and also provided extra impetus for getting the job done. Speakers from across the oil and gas and aviation industries reflected on the progress that has been made to improve offshore helicopter operations over the last year since the publication of the CAA’s report.
