- 1 -
attesting to their medical fitness for the work for which they are employed. Seafarer medicalcertificates are valid for a maximum of 2 years.
1.2 The requirement for a medical fitness certificate does not apply to anyone employed on afishing vessel, a non commercial pleasure vessel, an offshore installation while on its workingstation or to those specified in paragraph 2.2.2 of MSN 1765(M).
1.3 This notice lists the doctors approved to issue UK seafarer medical fitness certificates(ENG1s).
2. Acceptable Medical Fitness Certificates
Accepted medical fitness certificates for work on a UK ship are:
(i) a national certificate (known as an ENG1) issued in accordance with the provisions ofthe Regulations by an MCA approved medical practitioner (known as an ApprovedDoctor) or an MCA Medical Referee, listed in Appendix A, B, C, and D of this Notice;
or
(ii) a seafarer medical certificate issued in accordance with the Maritime Authority of anycountry listed in MSN 1815 (M).
Both of these lists are kept updated on the MCA’s webpage (www.mcga.gov.uk) under Workingat Sea / Medical Certification and Advice / Seafarer Information.
3. Application for a Medical Certificate
3.1 Applications may be made directly by seafarers to one of the Approved Doctors listed inAppendix A, or by company employees to the doctors listed for their company in Appendix B.The Approved Doctor is entitled to require payment of the prescribed maximum fee (currently£80), as listed in the current Merchant Shipping (Fees) Regulations, but this cost should be metby the seafarer’s employer or company (Reg 7(4)).
3.2 Approved Doctors should be able to offer an appointment for an ENG1 medicalexamination within one week of request. Where this is not possible, for instance because ofholidays, the Approved Doctor should be able to suggest alternative Approved Doctors in thevicinity – although this may not apply to seafarers who require review by the original examiningdoctor, or in company setups where medicals are required to be carried out by the companyapproved doctor only. Seafarers who are having difficulty in obtaining an appointment or feelthere is a lack of availability in a specific area should notify the Medical Administration Team onthe contact details provided below.
4. Appointment of Approved Doctors
4.1 General List – Whilst the number of Approved Doctors is not finite, appointments are keptunder review and are restricted to areas where a need has been demonstrated i.e. arequirement for at least 50 medicals a year.
4.2 In the interest of fair and open competition, and for administrative and quality assurancereasons, doctors are only approved to carry out medical examinations at the address to whichthey are appointed. However, approval may be given to carry out medicals at a subsidiaryaddress if in close proximity to the main surgery. The appointment is not transferable to anyother location or practice without the approval of the MCA. The appointment is also nottransferable to any other doctors in an Approved Doctor’s practice either on a temporary orlong-term basis without approval from the MCA.
- 2 -
4.3 When a need has been identified, for example as a result of an existing Approved Doctorretiring or moving away, or due to increased demand in an area, the normal practice is for theMCA to advertise the vacancy through local NHS structures amongst all GPs in the locality.Any suitable applicant who has approached the MCA will be kept on a waiting list, and notifiedwhen a vacancy in their area has been advertised. All applicants are considered by the ChiefMedical Adviser and the MCA in relation to their training, qualifications, experience, facilitiesand availability and the successful applicant is appointed for one year at a time.
4.4 Overseas – The MCA’s Approved Doctor system is established to provide a serviceessentially for UK seafarers, i.e. those holding UK Certificates of Competency, and/or thoseworking on UK vessels. This means that most Approved Doctors are based in the UK, althoughwhere the need can be specifically demonstrated, the MCA may approve doctors overseas incountries whose certificates are not recognised as equivalent. However, for ease ofadministration and communication, and for audit and quality assurance reasons, theappointment of Approved Doctors abroad is strictly limited.
4.5 Any suitably qualified medical practitioner who would like to be considered for a vacancy ifand when one arises should contact the MCA’s Seafarer Medical Administration Team at theaddress below.
4.6 Company Appointments – Where a company or organisation employing seafarers has arequirement for a comprehensive medical service as well as the performance of statutorymedical examinations, it may apply to the MCA for a doctor(s) from the General List to act alsoas its approved company doctor, or request approval of its own employed or contractedmedical staff to carry out seafarer medical examinations for their own employees only.Company appointments may be made both within the UK and overseas, depending on thecompany requirements.
4.7 Commercial Healthcare Providers – To support the supply of doctors available tocompanies and manning agents who require a comprehensive seafarer health support service,a commercial healthcare provider may apply to the MCA for approval at any time, solely toundertake work for a long-term contract(s) for one or more specified maritime employers,subject to meeting relevant appointment criteria.
Details of approved healthcare providers are published in Appendix C for companies toapproach should they wish to.
