Immediate Assistants understand the unique and challenging environment faced by Oil & Gas professionals locally and abroad.

Given the extremely remote nature of Oil & Gas projects, travel times, the limited access to medical facilities and the industry’s commitment to the safety of their people, paramedical services are recognised as a need on all vessels, rigs and facilities.

Immediate Assistants has the expertise and capacity to take over the full management of a client’s offshore medical services and associated integrated onshore requirements. Immediate Assistants provides day to day medical services and manages other responsibilities as set out in paramedical position requirements and medical emergency response needs.

Given the inherent risks and the lack of trained and qualified onsite personnel, coupled with the lengthy minimum response times from local resources and rotary assets, it is prudent to establish an onsite Intensive Care Paramedic (ICP) service, together with an onsite medical facility.
