Company History
Aviation Medicals Wessex has provided Aeromedical Services since the 1950s. Founded by Dr. McLeish and Dr. Gamper as part of the Burton and Bransgore Medical Group. Later, Dr Reg Odbert and Dr Angus Hickish were to continue their sterling work.
The company has expanded to include two more Aeromedical Examiners - Dr Duane O'Reilly and Dr Hugh Cummin - who also provide other occupational health services alongside their AME work.
What is an aviation medical examination?
An aviation medical examination involves the doctor taking a medical history, carrying out a top to toe medical examination and undertaking some diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and hearing test (audiogram). This allows the AME to diagnose medical conditions that you might not be aware of such as a heart murmur or high cholesterol. The AME can then assess whether you have any medical conditions that impair your ability to fly safely before issuing a medical certificate.
If a medical condition is identified, we will provide advice on management of your condition and, if required, refer you for further assessment and treatment. We can advise on compatibility of your treatment with medical certification and can guide your GP or specialist on suitable prescriptions. When safe to do so, we will guide you through the process of regaining your medical certification.
If a you develop a medical condition between your medical appointments, you can contact us for advice.
