General Physician - Expression Of Interest

Details of the offer

General Physician - Expression of InterestTimaru Hospital, NZ
New Zealand Government
General Physician Timaru Hospital - South Island, New Zealand Options for Permanent, Full and Part-Time General Medicine Department at Timaru Hospital. Currently, we are a team of nine internal medicine specialists, with some of the team having an additional sub-specialty qualification or interest, that currently includes Neurology, Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Nephrology & Cardiology.
This allows for each member of the team to practice, or upskill if needed, in an area of their interest. This we believe adds to job satisfaction, as well as delivering a valuable additional service to the community.
We also have a unique part-time model that enables part-timers to take their time off in blocks of weeks, instead of days.
We are keen to expand the range and depth of these services and are looking for people who, in addition to their internal medicine and acute medicine skills, might like to practice or upskill in internal medicine subspecialties like gastroenterology, endocrinology (diabetes), rheumatology, cardiology, haematology or similar.
If you have an additional interest in Geriatric Medicine, we have opportunities that may suit. Te Whatu Ora South Canterbury is responsible for the delivery of services throughout the South Canterbury region and Timaru Hospital (131 beds) serves a district population of approximately 50,000 based in a General Hospital Facility, providing our local community with critical 24/7 services such as A&E, ICU/CCU, General, Orthopaedic, & ENT Surgery, O&G, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Geriatrics, Oncology & Palliative Care, plus of course Internal Medicine.
Integrity, collaboration, accountability, respect, and excellence are at the heart of everything we do. We are a proudly diverse team, as we know a diverse and inclusive workforce achieves the best outcomes for our patients and communities.
If you share in these core values and bring them into every aspect of your patient care, we invite you to apply.
Living in South Canterbury offers a lifestyle opportunity second to none: this is an easy place to live, family-friendly, known to have one of the lowest crime rates in NZ, with instant access to an astounding array of outdoor activities - one of New Zealand's top ten rated beaches, a number of ski fields with both learner and advanced slopes, lakes and mountains - (the iconic McKenzie Country is on our doorstep).
When it comes to public amenities you are spoilt for choice with multiple golf courses, modern aquatic/gym facilities, and an excellent array of sporting venues.
The climate is great: hot summers, crisp winters, there is no such thing as a long commute to work, great properties, including lifestyle blocks, are still relatively affordable by NZ standards, and primary and secondary educational facilities are superb with two internationally renowned Universities within two hours' drive.
Medical Council Registration: Please be aware, if you are an overseas candidate, that the Medical Council of New Zealand requires primary source verification of your qualifications to be undertaken using the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates - Electronic Portfolio of International Credentials (ECFMG's EPIC) service. Being certified through EPIC is compulsory, and we therefore recommend that applicants have registered their professional credentials with EPIC at the time of applying for this vacancy.
Enquiries and Application Process: Please apply for this vacancy online at scdhb.careercentre.net.nz. If you would like to discuss this role and/or living in Timaru before you apply, please contact Catherine Robertson on ******.
