This South Island District covers an area of approximately 330,000 people through two main hospitals. The smaller of which has a six bed Critical Care Unit and following significant investment is aiming to have the necessary staffing and resourcing for two Intensive Care level beds and four High Dependency care level beds. The current 6 bed critical care admits around 500 patients per annum.
The case-mix will be diverse given the large geographical catchment area with the ability to cater for general medical, surgical and trauma patients. Paediatric and burns patients can also be stabilised and cared for in the ICU until aeromedical transportation to other centres can be arranged if required.
If you are looking for a role in a team that values kindness and working collaboratively, with a view to the future of healthcare, then this may be a good fit.
The hospital’s Physicians contribute to the professional development and supervision of the supporting team of Registrars, House Officers and students. Teaching sessions are an implicit and regular feature of the department and includes formal lectures, weekly journal club, medical forums, grand rounds and audit meetings. The Physicians pride themselves on providing excellent Registrar exam preparation courses and enjoy a nearly 100% success rate.

As the successful candidate, you will have a rounded Critical Care Medicine background. We are keen to hear from you if you are dual trained, and will support an approach to the relevant service to support your additional interest.
