Waikato, New Zealand Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Full time

Where you'll be working: Thames Hospital, New Zealand
The details: Permanent, Full time - Rostered
Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity
Come and join us in Thames, gateway to the Coromandel peninsula. We have an opportunity for a motivated physician with a broad range of skills to join the medical service in Thames Hospital. Our team of five consultants provides inpatient and outpatient general medical care to a population of around 50,000 permanent residents. The physicians lead a team of Senior House Officers and Registrars from the Rural Hospital Medicine and General and Acute Care Medicine training programs.
There is a 1:4 to 1:5 on call roster. Our roster is based around a rotating three week cycle of ward roles. Weeks "off-the-ward" are built into this roster. This ensures all physicians have protected non-clinical time and opportunities to take annual leave and CME leave. This structure also allows flexibility of FTE, with options to work less than 1.0 FTE by working fewer "on-the-ward" weeks across the year.
Key responsibilities of the role:

Direct inpatient care and acute assessment of Thames General Medicine patients, including providing General Medicine Specialist support for the Thames Emergency Department
Supporting primary and ambulatory care including providing phone advice to General Practitioners, electronic triaging of referrals from primary care, providing outpatient assessment (General Medicine Clinic and Exercise Treadmill tests), and communicating with General Practitioners (Clinic Letters, Discharge Summaries, and other communications).
Providing support, leadership and education to Thames General Medicine Resident Medical Officers.
Collaborating with Thames and Waikato Hospital SMOs and patient flow managers to ensure safe, timely and efficient transfer of patients between hospitals. In a modern health system, patient flow is indivisible from patient care.
Ensuring timely acknowledgment and actioning of investigation results and engaging in non-clinical activities commensurate with the SMO role including maintaining Professional Development, attending departmental meetings, undertaking service improvement activities, and supporting the professional development of our inter-disciplinary team.
