Re: offshore work

[Guest guest]

I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole??? I have just done 3 weeks on there my

relief quit after 1 week and his relief aint very pleased either. Management

Danish and have a different opinion to what a medic should do as to what I

believe. I have over 30 years experience in being a medic and 14 of those

offshore oil and gas. It is up to you but read the contract before you sign it

and if you are happy with about £2,000 a month go for it.

Ian,

Don't know who you were working with but that's not what its like

industry wide. In my many years offshore I've never seen anything like

that. Oil companies especially drilling companies do tend to balance

medical/safety with current law and budget and to us that may seem

outrageous but im afraid it all boils down to money.

Hope your next hitch is somewhat better

Offshore Work

Hi Guys,

I'm just coming to the end of my first offshore stint and can't say I'm

too impressed to be perfectly honest. I expected to find myself doing a

lot of admin, but the medical set up is a joke. I had antiquated

equipment, personnel sleeping in the hospital and no medical standing

orders would you believe, although the company had medical advisors in

Aberdeen. I kinda got the impression, the medical side of things was

treat as being a necessity rather than a requirement. I hope my next

hitch will be somewhat better!! Surely it's not like this industry

wide??

I'm also reading through some interesting threads, are there many

offshore medics out there with Dip IMC's working offshore?? If you

possess such a qual, can it work in your favour for higher pay?

Thanks,

Ian.

Hello Mick,

Good to read that you are enjoying your first trip offshore, it really does help

to start off well with a good crowd, company and crew.

£180 - £200 is good going, over £200 is damn good.

However the good money may not mean a good day for a medic and for a good day, a

good company, being treated well and enjoying being at work it is worth a bit

less of a day rate...those who have that and more money have struck the jackpot.

Cheers and keep the faith.

Hi mate,

Welcome to working away.

Medics only matter when they stop breathing.

May sound cynical but it has been my experience when working with any small

company.

I am also interested in the wage issue given a safety advisor with no experience

is making £105 more a day (and that's a low rate he says) than a medic.

So what is the most common day rate for medics?

Some say £180-£200 some say £230 and some even say less than £180

So what is it?

Mick

PS My first trip off is great!
