Sadly, illness can occur at any age to anyone.

The earlier disease is diagnosed, or the sooner we are warned that we are at risk from a condition the better the chances are of a good outcome.

Health screening therefore is so important.

An extensive check-up with the right series of tests carried out by trained professionals can provide early warning signs of potential trouble ahead, or reassurance and peace of mind knowing you are in good shape.

Many conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and many cancers can be effectively treated once detected.

Coronary Heart disease kills 1 in 4 men & 1 in 5 women in the UK. Simple changes in diet and exercise can help you stay out of danger.

Oil & Gas UK is the representative organisation for the UK offshore oil and gas industry. Its members are companies licensed by HM Government as Operators to explore for and produce oil and gas in UK waters.

The Oil & Gas UK policy requires that all persons designated, as "off shore employees" shall be examined periodically and classified as medically fit to work in the offshore environment.

Only Physicians who are approved by Oil & Gas UK Health Advisory Committee should carry out the examination. We are approved.

Every person should be examined prior to employment offshore and thereafter at the following intervals:

• Up to age 39 years - 3 yearly
• From age 40 to 49 years - 2 yearly
• Age 50 and over - annually

Individual Operators retain the right to request medical assessments more frequently.

All information is treated confidentially in accordance with the recognised code of medical ethics.
