Abermed - your health is our occupation

Established in 1983 to provide medical services to the North Sea oil and gas industry, as Aberdeen Industrial Doctors Limited, Abermed has evolved to become one of the largest UK-based providers of occupational health care.

We have the breadth of expertise to care for a wide range of commercial and non‐commercial organisations, offering a high quality service which is both flexible and tailored to each individual client.

Our years of experience has given us a comprehensive understanding of the medical and health issues which are unique to each sector, as well as the different environments and commercial parameters within which they operate.

We particularly specialise in the global oil and gas sector and are fully equipped to provide both topside and diving medical emergency services, offering a 24/7 emergency cover service with specialist doctors experienced in practising in harsh offshore conditions.

We also perform the majority of UK offshore medicals and around a quarter of all those conducted throughout the world.

Our range of services includes:

We have offices throughout the UK and across the globe including an operation with over 20 clinics throughout Kazakhstan. And as you would expect from a company that handles health and medical requirements locally, nationally and internationally, our doctors and other consultants are of the highest calibre with experience in the field, on and offshore, in the UK and overseas. Our medical staff are equally as experienced in remote and difficult locations as they are in well-equipped surgeries.

Above all, we work to a set of core values that remain constant:

  • Respect for all                                               investors in people | fpal
  • Honesty, integrity and complete openness 
  • Value learning, creativity, and personal development
  • Trust, care for and protect one another
  • Continually evolve, improve and perfect all that we do.
