Mostly, we are called in to work with clients from the very start of their operations at a new site or in a new region. Our first role is to provide audit and advisory services to help prepare clients and their staff for the health, safety and medical aspects of the environment and climate in which they will be working. We have particular experience in understanding the needs of the oil, gas and petroleum industries and advise your personnel on the specific demands faced in these sectors.
Our role then extends to providing planning and procedural documentation to ensure clients are prepared for any medical eventuality - including emergency evacuations - that may arise during their work in the field. We deploy our own experienced, medical teams and equipment to your site and can train your medical staff.
Medilink offers fully-equipped, mobile medical units which can be deployed swiftly to the even the most inaccessible remote sites. We can assist remote medical teams through our telemedicine, topside support service.
Topside Support
Topside support is fast becoming one of our most important services for clients working in remote locations. It gives medical staff on site the convenience and peace of mind of having an immediate, round-the-clock link to senior medical specialists and consultants back at base.
One of the major difficulties in providing medical services in remote locations had always been the lack of support for doctors in the field. Medilink’s topside support services overcome this hurdle: medics feel supported by having instant access to senior consultants; and client companies have a more efficient way of having staff treated competently, on site, at the remote location. Previously, even in routine situations, a doctor may have referred a patient for a second opinion back to base, and the client company would have had to bear the cost of transport and lost productivity.
