Dr Mariana Dumitriu: Occupational Health Physician in Gibraltar
Who actually signs off on your employees’ fitness-for-work certificates matters more than most employers realise — their qualifications, their registrations, and how many genuinely complex cases they’ve handled all shape how much you can rely on the opinion in front of you.
Midtown Clinic’s occupational health service is led by Dr Mariana Dumitriu, and her background is worth knowing if you’re a Gibraltar business trying to work out whether a provider can actually handle what you need.
A quarter-century in occupational and corporate medicine
Dr Dumitriu brings over 25 years of clinical practice to Midtown Clinic, with a background spanning corporate health, general practice, disability medicine and forensic medicine. That range matters in occupational health specifically, because so many of the hardest cases — a long-term sickness absence that doesn’t fit a textbook pattern, a disputed fitness-for-work opinion, a safety-critical role with unusual circumstances — need a clinician who has actually seen the edge cases before, not just the straightforward ones.
That experience has also made her a trusted medical advisor and GMC Responsible Officer for local businesses, a role that puts her at the centre of clinical governance and appraisal standards well beyond a typical consultation.
What her credentials actually mean for your business
Dr Dumitriu holds a Diploma in Occupational Medicine (DOccMed), is a GMC Registered Doctor and Responsible Officer, an OEUK Registered Doctor, a Certified Medical Appraiser, a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health (FRSPH) and a member of the Academy of Medical Educators — alongside registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office for data governance.
In practical terms, this is what separates an occupational health opinion that will hold up under scrutiny from one that won’t. A fitness-for-work report needs to satisfy GMC standards to be defensible if challenged; an offshore medical certificate is only valid if it’s issued by an OEUK Registered Doctor; and a business relying on that advice for a genuinely difficult HR decision needs to know the clinician behind it is properly regulated and accountable, not just clinically confident.
The integrated approach that sets her apart
As we covered in our guide to occupational health in Gibraltar, most occupational health providers still treat physical fitness and mental health as two separate services, assessed separately and often by different people. Dr Dumitriu’s additional training in psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and counselling means she can genuinely assess both together — which matters enormously in the stress, anxiety and burnout cases that now make up a large share of long-term sickness absence almost everywhere, Gibraltar included.
Instead of two opinions arriving weeks apart from two different clinicians, a business gets one coherent, clinically and legally sound recommendation from someone qualified to weigh both sides of the picture.
From fitness-for-work to OEUK medicals: what she covers
Dr Dumitriu’s practice at Midtown Clinic spans independent fitness-for-work assessments, sickness absence and case management, safety-critical medicals for roles including MOD personnel and DVLA-regulated driving, and clinical governance guidance aligned with CQC and SEQOHS standards.
She’s also one of the few OEUK Registered Doctors based locally, meaning Gibraltar’s maritime and offshore energy workforce can get a certified offshore medical without travelling to the UK — something we cover in more detail in our guide to OEUK medicals in Gibraltar.
Why Gibraltar businesses are turning to her
For an employer, the practical upshot is straightforward: one clinician, based locally, who can handle a fitness-for-work assessment, an OEUK medical and a complex sickness absence case without passing you between different providers or specialists abroad.
