Description

This is a Level 2 ICU providing a high standard of general intensive care, including complex multi-system support (invasive mechanical ventilation, cardiovascular monitoring and support, renal replacement therapy). The ICU is a mixed unit, admitting medical, surgical, trauma, and pediatric patients. The ICU functions as a “closed unit”, with the ICU consultants primarily responsible for the management decisions required in the delivery of critical care. The unit has 6 beds with a flexible mix of HDU and ICU-level patients. Presently in the process of expanding our capacity to 8 beds, including two state-of-the-art isolation rooms. The unit admits around 500 patients annually. The ICU department currently employs 8 senior medical officers and 6 ICU senior house officers. The SMOs provide exclusive cover to ICU on a rostered basis, the ICU roster being separate from the anesthesia one. When not rostered to ICU, the SMOs also provide daytime anesthesia sessions. The roster has mandatory provisions for fatigue-relief, with the morning rostered off after a weeknight on call and the whole Monday rostered off after a weekend on call. The weekly schedule for a full-time position comprises 30 hours of clinical work and 10 hours of non-clinical work, and 10 hours of rostered time off. The unit is accredited by CICM (College of Intensive Care Medicine) for Basic Training and as Rural Rotation for both early and advanced trainees. The unit is also accredited by ANZCA (Australia and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists). Opportunities to teach, mentor, and develop junior doctors. Our team actively encourage work-life balance, and this region of New Zealand is ideally situated for those who like to work, rest and play – beaches close by, ski fields and wineries just up the road, stunning scenery with loads of hiking and mountain bike tracks. Our region also offers excellent schools and a local university. If you are interested in making the move to NZ for 9 - 12 months– give us a call today to get started.
