Geriatric Medicine Consultant Opportunity in Lakes Region, New Zealand

5 days ago

Rotorua, New Zealand Head Medical Full time

Geriatrician

An exciting opportunity has become available to work as a Geriatrician and join our passionate and multi-disciplinary Older Persons and Rehabilitation Team in Rotorua, The Lakes Older Persons and Rehabilitation Service.

Our excellent team is based in a purpose-built 24-bedded ward that provides care for older patients and those requiring rehabilitation or who have suffered a stroke. Our team consists of one other specialist, a geriatric nurse specialist, a registrar, and a house officer, as well as an excellent interdisciplinary team of allied health professionals and nurses. We are committed to providing the best outcomes for our patients.

We also provide outpatient and community assessments in both Rotorua and Taupo. We work closely with our surgical and anaesthetic colleagues and provide a perioperative frailty service. We run a specialist Parkinson’s disease interdisciplinary clinic and also a memory clinic. We have close links with our physician colleagues, older person mental health services, NASC, and our community-based colleagues.

In response to a local aging population, we anticipate the development of an acute inpatient geriatric service that would be well placed to provide advice to our orthopaedic and surgical teams. The development of this service will be a key part of this role.

Rotorua is responsible for the teaching and supervision of 4th and 6th year medical students and medical registrars in training: you will be expected to help support this learning.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for applicants with specialist training in geriatric medicine who are either vocationally registered with the New Zealand Medical Council (NZMC) or for overseas trained applicants who would be eligible for vocational registration.

If you are interested in this position, please apply online and attach an up-to-date copy of your CV for consideration.
