Aero Medical Retrieval
At Head Medical we are proud to be working with one of Queensland’s largest specialist providers of Aero- medical staff. We are inviting applications from Doctors within Emergency Medicine and Anaesthetics for opportunities based throughout Queensland commencing August 2012 and February 2013. There are seven key locations across the State and Retrieval Doctors will work on board the state’s medical rescue helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.
These unique positions offer an opportunity to increase your professional experience and could take you out to islands in the North, to pontoons on the Great Barrier Reef to get divers with bends, and also into the interior which is often desert and always sparsely populated.
Aero Medical Retrieval is a mixture of pre-hospital and inter-facility work. Critically ill and injured patients require stabilisation and transfer; retrieval services can take you to the smaller rural hospitals and clinics with the Retrieval Registrar carrying out most of the initial resuscitation work.
Duties vary from base to base and include scene response, search and rescue, inter-facility transfer, and longer distance retrieval to the South Pacific region. Prior to commencement, you will receive an intensive seven day orientation course in Air Medical Retrieval encompassing pre-hospital care, winching operations, disaster management, and international retrieval.
These exciting opportunies offer a varied and challenging experience along with a variety of benefits:
- Accredited training by ACEM, ANZCA and JFICM
- Opportunity to complete a Post Graduate certificate in Aero-medical retrieval
- Be part of a supportive and friendly team
- Opportunities for 6 or 12 months
Positions are suited to those who have completed 2 years Specialty Training within Emergency Medicine or Anaesthetics and have completed MCEM/FRCA (primary) exams.
