The Opportunity
Based at Auckland City, one of the largest public hospitals in New Zealand Interventional Radiology at Auckland includes world class programs in vascular and non-vascular IR and is a recognised leader in clinical trials. Interventional Radiology provides 24-hour care to patients for the Northern Region and the regional service runs across several sites.

- Interventional Radiology oversees in-patient and out-patient care, with dedicated IR out-patient clinics and in-patient management from admission to discharge
- The interventional oncology service provides trans-arterial embolisation and image guided ablation (RFA, MWA, Cryoablation, and IRE), and IR plays a key role in the transplant services (Liver, Kidney, Pancreas, Lung).
- Interventional Radiologists lead and attend multi-disciplinary meetings in their areas of interest.
- Interventional Radiology also provides reporting of non-invasive imaging including vascular MR, CT and US. Auckland has the national liver transplant unit and busy renal and lung transplant programs
- Currently there are three interventional rooms overlapping with neuroradiology. There are 10 interventional radiologists in the regional service, and this role would be a replacement position for staff changes. The department has run a fellowship program for over 17 years, with two concurrent IR Fellows offset by 6 months.
- An extensive redesign program is underway to develop a state of the art IR department.
