Strengthen your onboard medical support

MedAire clients employ the services of an onboard medical professional for various reasons: 

  • Known medical conditions & disabilities of those onboard
  • Additional peace of mind, cruising in areas where shoreside facilities are limited or substandard
  • Aging owners & guests
  • A need to more accurately diagnose and treat more onboard (requiring people who are trained to use specific equipment)
MedAire will work with you to find the most suitable individual for your needs. Below you can find more about what to consider when recruiting an onboard medical professional (whether on a temporary or permanent basis).

Full time onboard medical professional or temporary? 

Understanding the needs

When it comes to onboard medical professionals, vessels have two options:

  1. Employing someone full-time (via specialist recruitment agencies like Wilsonhalligan Yacht Recruitment)
  2. MedAire medical placement (recruiting an individual on a flexible basis i.e. for a few weeks during a specific trip).

In the blog below, we provide explain some of the positives and drawbacks of each the two possibilities.
