Tips for Setting Up Onsite Medical Services with Agency Support

A Practical Guide for Businesses, Schools, and Organizations in Qatar

With increasing emphasis on employee and student well-being, many companies and institutions in Qatar are turning to onsite medical services as a proactive health solution. Partnering with a reputable medical staffing agency like Star Nursing makes it possible to offer reliable, professional care directly at your location — whether in a corporate office, school, construction site, or hotel.

Here’s how to successfully set up your own onsite medical support with the help of an agency.

1. Evaluate Your Medical Needs

Start by assessing what kind of care your environment requires:

• Are you dealing with high-risk work (e.g., construction, industrial)?

• Do you need first aid and minor emergency response?

• Would regular wellness checks or chronic condition monitoring help?

Work with Star Nursing to analyze your risk profile, workforce size, and regulatory requirements to determine whether you need:

• A full-time onsite nurse

• Rotational visits from a mobile nurse

• On-call emergency responders

• Health educators or wellness consultants

2. Define the Scope of Services

Decide which medical services are essential for your setup:

• First aid and emergency response

• Blood pressure and glucose monitoring

• Medication administration

• Basic triage and illness detection

• Mental health support

• Immunizations and health awareness campaigns

Clear service guidelines ensure the right professionals are deployed and that your workplace is ready for emergencies or day-to-day health concerns.

3. Prepare the Onsite Facility

To host a nurse or medical team onsite, prepare a designated area:

• A clean, private room (minimum 3x3m)

• Basic furnishings: medical bed, chair, desk, sink, and good lighting

• Secure storage for medical supplies and records

• Internet or phone access for consultations and emergency contact

• Signage and employee access protocols

Star Nursing can guide you on space requirements and provide a checklist for room setup.

4. Choose Qualified Medical Staff

Use a licensed agency like Star Nursing, which provides:

• Nurses registered and certified by Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH)

• Background-checked and trained professionals

• Multilingual staff if needed for a diverse workforce

• Flexible contracts (part-time, full-time, temporary)

All staff should be aligned with Qatar’s labor laws and workplace health regulations.

5. Ensure Proper Equipment and Supplies

Your agency can help source or guide you in setting up:

• First aid kits

• Glucometers, BP monitors, thermometers

• PPE (masks, gloves, sanitizer)

• Emergency oxygen and AED (as applicable)

• Record-keeping materials and health forms

You may also integrate software or digital logs for efficiency.

6. Communicate the Services Internally

Let your staff, students, or residents know about the onsite medical services:

• Share schedules and how to access care

• Educate on what services are offered

• Set clear privacy protocols for patients

Consider launching a wellness campaign with posters, emails, or workshops to promote trust and usage.

7. Review and Monitor Performance

With Star Nursing, you’ll receive periodic performance updates:

• Monthly or quarterly reports on visits and outcomes

• Feedback from your team on service quality

• Adjustments in staffing based on need

Regular reviews help you scale or adapt the service for long-term sustainability.
