In the offshore industry, where the margin for error is slim and operational risks are high, the quality of your medical cover matters. When it comes to providing offshore medics, the choice between partnering with a specialist medical company and using a traditional recruitment agency can have significant implications for safety, compliance, and operational performance.
At EMS Assist, we believe the difference is clear — and here’s why more clients are choosing medical providers over recruiters.
1. Clinical Oversight & Governance
A recruitment agency may be able to supply a CV, but a medical company offers clinical assurance.
At EMS Assist, every medic we deploy is selected not just for experience, but for clinical competence, verified through rigorous screening and ongoing professional support. Our in-house medical oversight ensures that practitioners are working to current standards, with access to advice, escalation pathways, and up-to-date protocols.
2. We Specialise in Medical Personnel
Recruitment agencies often cover a wide range of offshore roles — from riggers to engineers to chefs — and medical personnel are just one part of their offering.
At EMS Assist, medical staffing isn’t an add-on — it’s our core business. We understand the nuances of clinical qualifications, offshore certifications, regulatory requirements, and the personal attributes needed to work in remote, high-pressure environments. That depth of focus means we don’t just find someone with the right paperwork — we find the right medic for the role.
3. Fit-for-Purpose Training & Continued Support
Offshore medics often work in isolation, in high-pressure environments. We don’t just place them and walk away.
EMS Assist provides ongoing training and structured clinical CPD, ensuring medics are up to date and confident in their practice — not just compliant on paper.
4. Integrated Service, Not Just a Placement
Medical provision offshore is more than filling a rota slot — it’s about integrating a medic into the client’s safety culture and operations.
As a medical company, we provide full-spectrum support: equipment supply and audit, procedural guidance, medical emergency response planning, telemedicine integration, and full case documentation support — aligning our service with your operational and HSE goals.
5. Reduced Risk, Increased Confidence
Clients who rely on recruitment agencies take on greater clinical risk — with no guarantee of governance, no clinical backup, and no assurance beyond a CV.
By working with EMS Assist, clients gain a trusted partner with systems in place for clinical auditing, quality control, incident review, fitness-to-practice monitoring, and medic welfare, giving your team peace of mind that medical cover is robust, not just resourced.
