There are daily flights from Whanganui to Auckland (1 hr) and Wellington, making international flight connections easy. What Head Medical can do for you Arranging a position overseas is very exciting, but we understand that it can also be daunting and time-consuming. We're the UK's specialist in international medical recruitment and we've helped many Doctors relocate since we first started out in 2008. We know it's important to balance career opportunities with lifestyle and we'll talk through your plans and will get to know you to make sure we find the right role in the right location. Once we have secured a job for you, we'll manage the Medical Registration and Visa application process, and support you (and your family) with the relocation itself.
