Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua MidCentral are expanding our Orthopaedic Department and we are looking for a mix of advanced surgical interests and skill.
If you are looking for a collegial environment in a region of NZ that offers the perfect blend of work, rest and play then MidCentral might be the place for you!
We are interested in hearing from surgeons with an interest and/or sub-specialty in spinal surgery, hand surgery, and complex joint replacement and joint revision surgery skills.
In addition, you will be able and willing to provide service in general Orthopaedic and trauma surgery.
You will partake in the general on-call roster and will contribute to management of trauma and other acute Orthopaedic presentations.
Due to the high demand, you will be involved in the provision of primary knee and hip joint replacement services to the Manawatu community.
The spine service will involve management of trauma, decompression, and stabilisation of the spine surgery.
If you are interested in tertiary spine surgery, you will be able to liaise and coordinate the management with tertiary institutes.
You would be one of seven Orthopedic Specialists.
There is also a Medical Officer, 9 Registrars (two are on the national training program), and House Officers.
Our team actively encourages work-life balance, and the MidCentral Region is ideally situated for those who like to work, rest, and play with beaches close by, ski fields, and wineries just up the road, stunning scenery with loads of hiking tracks including Te Arapuke mountain bike track.
