The Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine provides a comprehensive anaesthesia and perioperative medicine service to a wide range of surgical departments, including neurosurgery, ophthalmology, urology, trauma, intra-abdominal/breast/endocrine surgery, orthopaedics, vascular, solid organ transplant and interventional radiology, as well as acute and chronic pain management. Many of our patients are complex tertiary or national referrals to our institution’s specialised surgical and procedural services. Engagement in short stay anaesthesia at our Greenlane campus would also be expected as part of the wider role of an anaesthesia specialist at Auckland.

The Department is currently particularly interested in recruiting Specialists with an interest in acute pain. A formal pain qualification is not required for this role, but an interest in participating in the delivery of acute pain services would be an advantage.

This department is heavily involved in anaesthesia clinical research and has close links with the ANZCA Clinical Trials Network and the University of Auckland. We regularly participate in multi-centre trials and contribute to authorship and governance. We deliver a robust teaching program and our department has multiple primary and final examiners for the ANZCA examinations. We have several specialists who are or have been involved in ANZCA and NZSA leadership roles.

Our Organisation serves a diverse population. Achieving equitable outcomes is a priority, with a particular focus on our Māori population. Experience and expertise in delivering healthcare within a culturally safe framework, as well as an ongoing commitment to equity are essential.
