ASSESSMENT SCOPE

Treatment abroad and treatment errors

Seafarers are often treated in several countries, with records in different languages. We build a treatment timeline and assess its appropriateness within what the records show. Translations are agreed before work starts.

Questions for the physician

  • Can the treatment pathway between providers be reconstructed?
  • What do the records establish and what remains unresolved?
  • Do questions about treatment appropriateness require additional records?

Records for subsequent review

  • Discharge summaries and dated records from each provider.
  • Test results, treatment recommendations and available translations.

INEM Cloud

Do not send records by email or through the form. After agreeing the scope, we provide the separate protected INEM Cloud channel. Your initial enquiry should contain only the purpose of the report, without health details.

We do not issue seafarer medical certificates or statutory decisions, do not examine patients in Poland and do not assess legal claims. We do not promise any outcome. An enquiry does not suspend appeal or claim deadlines.
