Petronas Offshore and Remote Onshore Medical From £600+
Certified Petronas Offshore & Onshore Medicals
Petronas Offshore and Remote Onshore Medical Service
Cherries Medical Clinic carries out the full PETRONAS offshore and remote onshore medical, and completes the PETRONAS Offshore Form C and Endorsement Checklist for staff and contractors joining PETRONAS operations.
PETRONAS requirements
PETRONAS requirements for medicals done outside Malaysia
PETRONAS accepts offshore medical assessments carried out outside Malaysia, as long as all of the following are met:
• The examination is carried out by a certified OGUK doctor (now OEUK, Offshore Energies UK).
• The PETRONAS Offshore Form C is completed and signed by both the examining doctor and the crew member.
• Every examination and laboratory test on the PETRONAS Endorsement Checklist is completed, including any additional tests that apply.
• The examining doctor states clearly in the medical report whether you are fit or unfit for offshore work.
This is mandatory for PETRONAS endorsement.
We meet all of these requirements. Your medical is carried out by Dr Mohammed Omer Anwar, an OEUK Approved Examiner. We complete Form C and every item on the Endorsement Checklist, and we issue a clear fitness statement for PETRONAS endorsement.

Please bring:

• A printed copy of the PETRONAS Offshore Form C and the Endorsement Checklist
• A list of your current medicines, and any recent medical letters or reports

Before your appointment:

How the medical works and what it costs
How the medical works and what it costs
Your medical takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on any additional requirements. It covers the full examination, all the in-clinic tests and the rapid urine drug screen. We also take your blood and urine samples, produce your ECG report (where required) and spirometry graph, and give you your chest X-ray referral letter.
We aim to receive your laboratory results within 48 to 72 hours. Once we have your chest X-ray report and image, the doctor completes and signs Form C, including a clear fit or unfit statement for offshore work. The signed Form C and all documents are then emailed back to you or your employer.
Please remember to sign Form C yourself where indicated before submitting it.
Doctor’s fee: £350
Laboratory tests: your blood and urine samples are processed by our partner laboratory, and the laboratory fees are charged in addition to the doctor’s fee. We are currently seeking more competitive prices from our laboratory partners, so please contact us for the latest laboratory fees before booking.
Prefer to arrange your own blood tests? We can provide a referral letter so you can have them done privately elsewhere. The results will need to be emailed to us at info@cherriesmedicalclinic.co.uk before the final sign-off.
Typical total including doctor’s fee and laboratory tests: from £600, plus the chest X-ray (typically £120 to £160, paid directly to the hospital).
