About the role
Intensive Care Fellow / CICM Transition
Year Fellow / Senior Registrar
12 month position, starting 28 July 2025 (January start not available in 2025)
Wellington Hospital/Wakefield Hospital salaries are calculated based on relevant previous years of experience and the average weekly hours of work as set out in the relevant run description.
Please note that the existing run description has been attached as a guideline only. We anticipate opening our additional 12 bed HDU at the beginning of 2025. This will necessitate a change to our current roster (and an increase in the number of registrars participating in this roster).
This roster is currently in draft format, and will be sent to affected registrars once it is formalised. There may possibly also be a change to the fellow roster. The roster change will follow the RDA and STONZ principles regarding change management (including acceptance by the majority of those affected).
However, the principles of the fellow functioning at SMO level for the majority of shifts will still apply.
