Southland Hospital
Full-time or part-time, permanent or one year Locum positions considered
Salary: ASMS MECA 2024 (NZD 185,380 - 267,980)
Our team at Southland Hospital is excited to announce we are remodelling our Critical Care Unit! This development has created opportunities for a physician with an interest in critical care medicine, Dual Trained Specialist Intensivists, or anaesthetists or emergency medical specialists with an interest in critical care medicine.
Currently, Southland Hospital has a six-bed Critical Care Unit and, following significant investment, we aim to have the necessary staffing and resourcing for two Intensive Care level beds and four high-dependency care level beds. The current six-bed critical care unit admits around 500 patients per annum. The case mix will be diverse given our large geographical catchment area, catering for general medical, surgical, and trauma patients. Paediatric and burns patients can also be stabilized and cared for in the ICU until aeromedical transportation to other centres can be arranged if required.
During our recruitment phase, duties will be conducted as part of a shared roster with anaesthesia department colleagues. Clinical and non-clinical duties will be rostered as per ASMS contract agreement. You will be expected to undertake a full share of the Intensive Care on-call roster with other members of the team. Other duties will include participation in teaching and supervision of junior doctors, nurses, and medical students, team ward rounds, quality and safety activities, audit, and clinical review meetings.
Come and join us at Southland Hospital at the start of our journey!
