The Role
You will join a team of six Emergency Physicians, eight Registrars and seven House Officers. The Emergency Department sees 35,000 attendances a year, with a 34% admission rate. The general patient acuity is high and you will see a significant amount of major trauma. The Emergency Department runs five observation unit beds and you will gain exposure to a diverse patient mix. The department has an active ED ultrasound and ready access to a comprehensive diagnostic radiology service, including CT, MRI, Angiography and Nuclear Medicine.

The Location
With over 2,245 hours of sunshine each year, and warm, dry summers this region of New Zealand is the country’s oldest winemaking district. As New Zealand’s leading producer of award winning red wines you will enjoy a region that is recognised for its ‘gourmet’ cuisine.
The city is also home to a world-class concentration of Art Deco architecture and vibrant arts scene rich with Maori culture. If you are seeking a laid back, friendly and cultural city then this is it. You will quickly see why so many New Zealanders and immigrants alike make this region home and why it is quickly becoming a hub for ‘must-see’ concerts and events throughout the year.
