Head Medical are working with this New Zealand District Health Board on a project to build capacity and expertise within Women’s Health by recruiting 4 x O&G Consultants and 5 x O&G Registrars, for a fixed term of one year, initially, although for interested parties, there may be scope to make this a longer term move by mutual agreement. We are seeking candidates who can be in post early in 2016, although will be open to discussion on start dates throughout 2016.

- Service development
- 2016 Start Dates
- Relocation support package
The Health Board provides services to a district population of 365,000, and is also the tertiary service provider for the region, with approximately 5400 deliveries per annum. An area of special interest would be welcome, and most can be accommodated, for example there is scope to develop both Maternal Fetal Medicine and Gynae-Oncology services. There are also opportunities to take on non-clinical portfolios such as risk management, clinical governance, service development and labour ward management. All doctors will participate in the Obstetrics on call register. This is an opportunity to sharpen your professional skills and make a real change, working with an extremely supportive management team, to shape, develop and contribute to an excellent and vital service. Full support will be provided by Head Medical on medical registration and immigration. Financial and practical relocation assistance will also be provided to successful candidates.
