Occupational health services for the maritime industry

It is vital for the maritime industry that seafarers are fit to undertake their work without causing risk to their vessels, others at sea or to their own health. With more than 25 years of experience in providing a range of occupational health care services, Abermed understands the unique challenges faced by maritime workers and can provide the appropriate occupational health care.

Abermed can carry out a comprehensive range of medical assessments including Seafarers (ENG1) and Divers Medicals. We have specialists in diving medicine and provide round-the-clock diving and general medical cover.

Abermed can supply medics who are specially trained to provide medical services on vessels. You can opt for Medicsplus, a fully managed and functional sick bay in your vessel.

Diet, exercise, smoking and fatigue are all issues that particularly affect the health of maritime workers. Abermed’s health promotion services make it possible for a company to invest in its workforce, reduce absenteeism and help retain healthy seafarers. Our on-line health promotion programme has been designed to be accessible from anywhere and can be used on board ships.

Travel and vaccination clinics are a major element of our day to day work and we have highly skilled staff who are trained in travel health advice and vaccinations, and can cater for the complete range of requirements.

Farflung locations bring particular challenges and Abermed is also proud to be at the forefront of developments in telemedicine. If global medical repatriation is required, International SOS (Abermed's parent company) can mobilise its worldwide resources to manage the evacuation.

Emergencies and traumatic events can and do occur at sea. Abermed’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Services can help by offering a range of services that help both prevent mental health and wellbeing problems and support those with existing concerns or who have been involved in traumatic situations.

For short term, long term, emergency or planned industrial and occupational medicine, there is only one name - Abermed.
