Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand Health New Zealand | Southern Full time

**Job Overview**

About the Role:

We are seeking enthusiastic senior registrars to join our team of registrars and senior house officers in the intensive care unit at Dunedin Hospital.

The Senior Registrar role is aimed at CICM trainees in the later stages of training, but it is open to other experienced critical care registrars who want to progress their skills.

We have a busy aeromedical retrieval team involved in both inter-hospital and prehospital transport, predominantly by helicopter.

The unit has recently been refurbished, and a state-of-the-art 22-bed-space unit is scheduled to open this year.

We provide a five-day orientation programme covering both critical care and aeromedical retrieval.

Registrars attend weekly seminar-based education and fortnightly simulation sessions.

In-house echocardiography and ultrasound teaching is also available.

We offer a number of courses locally, including BASIC, RACEplus, and advanced critical care echocardiography courses, and 4i.

Dunedin Hospital has a strong collaborative relationship with the University of Otago, making a number of teaching and research options possible for those keen to pursue their academic careers while completing their clinical work.

Statistical support is available for those wishing to complete a project as part of training.

The unit is accredited for Foundation training in intensive care medicine by CICM, as well as for ACEM critical care and RACP basic training.

The roster is a 5-week rolling pattern of shifts, incorporating planned leave relief.

The Senior Registrar is rostered a mixture of shifts, on-calls, and non-clinical time designed to balance development of consultant-level skills, service provision, and development of special skills.

Daytime and on-call activities mirror those on the consultant roster, enabling the senior registrar to lead ward rounds and manage the unit overnight when on-call from home with appropriate SMO supervision.

**Key Responsibilities:**

  • Lead the ward round during the day and delegate tasks to registrars and SHOs as appropriate.
  • Work at the level of a junior consultant, with a degree of supervision and independence of practice that varies as expertise develops.
  • Contribute to registrar, SHO, and nursing education where appropriate.

**Requirements:**

  • Registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand or be eligible for general or provisional general registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand.
  • A minimum of two years' post-qualification experience.
  • 6 months or more of anaesthetics or intensive care experience.

**Benefits:**

  • Free meals when on duty.
  • Subsidised gym membership and discounted health insurance.
  • Access to a range of retail discounts.

**About Us:**

We are Health New Zealand | Southern, dedicated to ensuring excellent healthcare for the people of Aotearoa/New Zealand.

We provide high-quality education and training opportunities for our staff.

We are committed to being good employers and honouring our equal employment opportunity obligations.
