Hi All, Has anyone worked for this company? If so what is your opinion? thanks

Hello all, If possible I'd like a bit of discussion on remote site medical companies. Is there any company out there that everyone wants to work for ? Where are the best salaries and T&C's to be found Having been in the remote site med business for 5/6 years I have heard of the good old...

It's seems the NUH is the best as far reputation goes especially for re-certifying. The whole offshore medic course and re-certification is an outdated concept especially with clinical governance. However, companies and people still pay so someone will provide it. Offshore "medic" probably...

If its any help I did plan to attend the STORM refresher about 3 years ago when Abermed had just taken it over the NSMC. The pre course reading was woeful. out of date by years, still version 1.0 even though it had been available for many years. The North Sea Medical Centre were asking top...

Hello All, Just wondered if their are any members who have had experince of working with ISOS. I'm looking for any information good or otherwise who will help me make a decision on a job offer. I understand you may not wish to expose yourself in a thread so please feell free to message me...

I believe it all depends on your circumstances. Having worked Afghan, remote site and hospital stuff it's about what works best for you and your family. I get calls from companies and recruitment agencies I've never heard of saying some big company needs a post and I'm suitable. Its $500 per day...

In agreement with te rest of the posts really. I've done both courses and work both hospital and remote site as a nurse. ATLS allows you to refresh, you go through the same process as thr Doc's but no qualification really, nice bit of paper with ATLS (OBSERVER) on it. PHTLS is a probbaly more...
