    Offshore medics in the North Sea treat many fractures, especially to the hand. Research into accident and emergency referrals informed updates to their training programs for better patient care.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Nursing Practice

    Background:

    • Offshore medics, among the earliest British nurse practitioners, have diagnosed and treated patients offshore since the 1960s.
    • Training for offshore medics in the UK North Sea is regulated by the Health and Safety Commission.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze a 9-year period of injury referrals from offshore to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
    • To create a database of common offshore injuries and affected body parts.
    • To inform and modify existing training programs for offshore medics based on research data.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 6270 injury referral cases over nine years.
    • Categorization of injuries by type and affected body part.
    • Comparison of referral data with current offshore medic training curricula.

    Main Results:

    • Fracture or suspected fracture was the most common injury type (50% +/- 3.2%).
    • The hand was the most frequently affected body part (37% +/- 3.7%).

    Conclusions:

    • Research-informed updates were made to the offshore medic training program.
    • Evidence-based training is crucial for ensuring offshore medic programs are relevant and effective.
    • Continuous research is necessary to validate and improve nurse practitioner training.
