While the offshore wind industry has an enviable safety record, unfortunately, incidents do happen. Early access to treatment from experienced and qualified medical professionals can save lives and promote better recovery. It can also save money by keeping people working and avoiding unnecessary early returns to shore. But you can't call for a paramedic offshore can you?

Well, perhaps you can. In this episode, we spoke with Paramedic Mike Campey who is employed by Turner Iceni, a specialist supplier of O&M wind turbine services (onshore and offshore), including the provision of technicians to the wind industry.  The company also owns and operates a fleet of 11 crew transfer vessels.

Mike has MCA STCW and GWO qualifications so works as part of the CTV crew but is primarily onboard as a Paramedic. As part of the vessel crew, Mike doesn't take up a technical place on the vessel. But he is on hand to provide critical, and potentially life-saving support if required.

Listen to find out more about Mike's journey to being a paramedic and what he brings to the project team.
