Professionals working in offshore roles or travelling internationally for work often require specific medical clearance before they can take up an assignment. The Nine Clinic provides offshore and travel-related medical assessments in London, helping individuals and their employers confirm that workers are medically prepared for the environments they will be working in.
Our clinics on Harley Street and Sloane Square work with companies across a range of industries, conducting structured assessments that combine travel health advice, vaccination reviews and fitness-to-work evaluations into a single, efficient consultation process.
Offshore and travel-related medicals are health assessments designed to confirm that a professional is fit and appropriately vaccinated before beginning an overseas or offshore assignment. The scope varies depending on the role and destination, but assessments typically cover general health, cardiovascular and respiratory fitness, vaccination status, and any existing conditions that may require management during the assignment.
For offshore roles, assessments align with the relevant industry standard, including OEUK medical certification for those working within the UK oil, gas and energy sector. For travel-related deployments, our doctors take into account the specific health risks associated with the destination, including tropical disease exposure, food and water safety, altitude considerations and environmental factors.
You can find a full overview of what each consultation includes on our services and fees page.
We offer a practical alternative to large occupational health providers. Our doctors take the time to conduct thorough assessments rather than processing workers through a standardised checklist. Consultations are conducted at our private clinics in Harley Street and Sloane Square, with reports provided promptly in formats suitable for employers, insurers and offshore operators.
For organisations that require regular or volume assessments for staff travelling or working overseas, our corporate GP services in London provide a structured way to manage these requirements across a team. For employees being sent on longer-term overseas postings, our pre-deployment medical assessments provide a more comprehensive review of health readiness before departure.
Assessment timescales can be tight when assignment start dates are fixed. We offer appointments at short notice and can prioritise cases where deadlines are imminent. To arrange an offshore or travel medical assessment, call The Nine Clinic on 020 3084 1600 or email info@thenineclinic.com.
A travel medical assessment at The Nine Clinic covers your general health, any pre-existing conditions, vaccination status and the specific health considerations for your destination or deployment. We review what vaccinations are recommended or required, discuss health risks relevant to the environment and confirm your fitness to work in those conditions. Any prescriptions you may need for travel, such as antimalarial medication, can also be arranged.
Not necessarily. A general travel health assessment may be valid across multiple trips depending on the destinations and your overall health status. For offshore roles with regulated medical requirements such as OEUK, a formal certificate is required and has a set validity period. Our doctors will advise based on your situation.
In most cases, we can provide medical reports and documentation promptly following the assessment. If you have an imminent assignment start date, let us know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline. Call 020 3084 1600 or email info@thenineclinic.com.
Yes. Our doctors assess fitness for a range of offshore environments, including offshore wind and renewable energy installations, as well as oil and gas platforms. The relevant medical standard will depend on the specific role and operator requirements.
