DDRC to launch Offshore Medic Course

The DDRC Offshore Medics Course is primarily a work based approach to Emergency Care. The course has been designed to be 'proactive' not 'reactive' and teaches practical first aid, diagnosis and treatment with offshore/remote skills. The techniques are flexible and adaptable to enable candidates to apply their skills in different environments.

A pre-course assessment will be sent to candidates and an assessment will be given on the first day of course. To participate in the course candidates must meet the criteria set out in the Offshore Installations and Pipeline Works (First Aid) Regulations 1989, (SI 1989 No. 1671), that is either:
