IN 1476 – Recognition of doctors to perform medical examination of divers - Asia-Pacific region
- Information Note
- Published on 6 March 2020
- 8 minute read
Information Note IMCA D 20/01, issued in July 2001, advised Members of the requirements for doctors who undertake annual medical examination of divers, in light of the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) withdrawal of recognition from doctors operating outside the UK.
Subsequently, four members in Singapore agreed to jointly recognise a number of doctors to conduct diver medicals to the standard cited in IMCA D 20/01. This was publicised via information note IMCA D 21/01, updated by D 09/07 which was updated periodically.
Diving contractors in the wider Asia-Pacific region have now agreed an updated list of jointly recognised doctors and have asked IMCA to publicise the attached note.
While IMCA is not in a position to approve or recognise doctors (for clarity, no doctor is ‘IMCA approved’), IMCA welcomes this contractor initiative and is pleased to publicise the agreement.
Asia-Pacific Region. Last updated 03 March 2020.
