IQ Academy Offshore Medic Program

  • Full-time

Company Description

At Iqarus, we believe there is no better investment than one made in health. In turn, we believe there is no better way to increase the return on that investment than by taking a preventative approach. Our ethos is one that ensures our clients’ workforces are fit for work as well as better prepared for an emergency. Iqarus provides fully-integrated healthcare solutions that enable organisations to deliver and grow in the world's most complex and demanding environments. Our “centre of excellence” in Aberdeen is the recognised industry expert in offshore and occupational health and the leading provider of offshore healthcare across all sectors of the North Sea.

Job Description

We are passionate about developing new talent and have committed to  supporting Learning and Professional Development for our Industry. In 2018 Iqarus launched the Offshore Medics Training Academy to help develop the critical skills and capabilities of medics working, or hoping to work, offshore. Since then we have supported over 40 clinical professionals to become qualified, experienced offshore Medics.

For the industry at large, sourcing medics is increasingly a major challenge. Conversely, we know there are many general medics keen to get into the industry, but the price of retraining or upskilling is often prohibitively expensive. 

The programme is open to all qualified medics who would like to join (or re-join) the offshore medical community, including trained nurses, paramedics or ex-military medical personal.
