Aberdeen firm RS Occupational Health (RSOH) has smashed its own job creation expectations at a fledgling remote care medical centre in the city.
It was originally anticipated that the flagship facility at Dyce would result in 17 new jobs.
However, strong interest and demand for services have resulted in 36 staff being recruited since the centre opened in July.
They have joined remote medical care director Dr Olgha Asatiani and commercial manager Mhari Mitchell who were appointed earlier in the year to head up the new clinic.
The 44,750ft centre provides remote and emergency medical support for the oil and gas industry, and was developed at a cost of more than £1 million.
It is fully staffed round the clock, 365 days a year, by specialists in remote medicine, accidents and emergencies or trauma
Dr Asatiani said: “Ensuring we have in place staff of the highest calibre is central to what we do. This is crucial to our ability to deliver the full spectrum of services at a consistently high standard, thus ensuring we meet the evolving needs of our growing number of clients.”
Ms Mitchell added: “We are already experiencing strong and growing demand for services offered at the RCMC (remote care medical centre) and this is especially welcome during the current difficult trading conditions.”
RS Occupational Health was established in 1999 by Fiona Willis and Dr Andrew Goodge. It is now owned by Houston-based DISA Global Solutions.
The company also operates from clinics in Inverness and Great Yarmouth, and deals with clients in a variety of sectors.
