Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity

Join Te Toka Tumai, Auckland as a Fellow in our Adult Emergency Department (AED) and Prehospital and Retrieval Medicine (PHRM) service.

Based at Auckland City Hospital, you will be working in one of the largest public hospitals in New Zealand, which includes a world class trauma centre. The Adult Emergency Department (AED) is a modern, purpose-built, world-class facility. We have an enthusiastic team of clinicians who have expertise in resuscitation, ultrasound, simulation, toxicology and pre-hospital & retrieval medicine. The closely-knit team consists of FACEMs, medical officers and resident medical officers. The department sees about 70,000 adult patients annually with a high patient acuity.

The department in conjunction with Northern Rescue Helicopter Ltd (NRHL) run the PHRM Service. NRHL is the aeromedical provider serving the people of Northland Te Tai Tokerau and Auckland Tamaki Makaurau. The PHRM service is based in Ardmore, Auckland. NRHL's mission is to provide early, safe and timely pre-hospital and patient transport care. NRHL is also active in research and is currently involved in a number of key national projects. While the PHRM service is currently an accredited provider of the Associateship in Pre-Hospital and Retrieval Medicine (APHRM), due to uncertainties around the structure of the aeromedical sector over the next 12 months, completion of the APHRM requirements cannot be guaranteed during this fellowship.

We have a full-time position in our team (1.0 FTE - 40hrs per week) working 0.5FTE AED and 0.5FTE PHRM, 12-month fixed term. If this interests you, please apply now!
