The Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine serves a culturally diverse population of approximately 600,000 people across East and South Auckland. We aspire to having a workforce reflective of the communities we serve and aim for equitable outcomes for all.
We provide anaesthetic care for a broad range of elective surgical specialties in addition to a busy and diverse acute workload.
Anaesthetists are rostered to work at both sites where CM District provides surgical services. Middlemore Hospital is a busy 800-bed tertiary-level teaching hospital with 14 operating theatres. Manukau Surgical Centre provides an additional 10 theatres for lower complexity, short-stay surgery.
We provide approximately 32,000 anaesthetic episodes per year across all surgical specialties, including general surgery, orthopaedics, urology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, burns, plastics, and gynaecology. Our tertiary obstetric centre delivers over 7000 babies annually.
Our district offers several regional specialist services, including the National Burns Centre and tertiary regional referrals for acute spinal injuries, mangled limb, plastic surgery, hands, maxillofacial surgery, and rigid bronchoscopy.
The anaesthetic department provides a small amount of off-the-floor work in MRI, CT, interventional radiology, and procedural sedation.
To meet these demands, CM District anaesthetists are collegial, flexible, and skilled team members. Our anaesthetists have a true generalist skillset and work together as a team to solve problems. Staff are expected to participate in departmental administrative, quality assurance, and educational activities.
