🚢 Is your workforce fully certified and compliant?

Under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006), every seafarer must hold a valid ENG1 medical certificate. Non-compliance doesn't just put crew at risk — it can lead to costly operational delays.

At Anchor Health Solutions, we work with companies across Aberdeen and the world to keep crews certified and operations running smoothly.

✅ Fast turnaround appointments
✅ MCA-approved doctors
✅ Flexible team bookings
✅ Aberdeen city centre clinic

💬 Message us today to arrange team medicals and stay ahead of compliance.

OEUK medicals play a key role in ensuring personnel are fit for offshore deployment, helping reduce delays and maintain safe, compliant operations.
At Anchor Health Solutions in Aberdeen, we support offshore workers and employers with clear, efficient medical assessments designed around real operational demands.

🧃👩‍⚕️ Doing 'Dry January'? How’s it going?

To those who are taking part in ‘Dry January’ we salute you! 🚀 Giving up alcohol for one month is quite a feat for many. The downside is that one month passes very quickly (though it may not feel like it!), and things soon go back to normal. So, why not turn this opportunity into a lifestyle change and improve your health for good?

In our latest blog, we hear from Sobriety Coach, Gillian Cockburn, from Finding You, Coaching and Dr Niyi Adelek, from Anchor Health Solutions, who share their wisdom and insights on how to overcome this addiction, along with the benefits you’ll enjoy from giving up alcohol for good. Getting support from others is important, so be sure to reach out to those who can help.

How is your journey going? Let us know in the comments 👇
