While specific details can vary, here's a general overview of what typically happens during a Seafarer's Medical:
Medical History Review:
You'll be asked about your medical history, including any existing conditions, medications, surgeries, or allergies.
Physical Examination:
A thorough physical examination is conducted, which may include checking your vital signs, vision, hearing, and overall physical condition.

Measurement of blood pressure and heart rate to assess cardiovascular health.
Lung Function Test:

Urinalysis:
A urine test to check for any abnormalities or indicators of health issues.
Blood Tests:
If your role is in catering or engineering then a blood test for Hepatitis A is required. If your blood contains no Hep,A antibodies, then a vaccine will be required. Hepatitis A vaccine is administered in two doses, six months apart,
Specialised Tests for Certain Job Roles:
Depending on your job role, specialized tests may be conducted. For example, catering and engineering staff may undergo a Hepatitis A serology test to determine the need for a Hepatitis A vaccine.
Fitness Assessment:
The medical may include a fitness assessment to ensure that individuals are physically capable of handling the demands of maritime work.

It's important to note that the specific tests and procedures can vary based on regional regulations and the nature of the maritime work involved.
