mātou | About Us
The West Coast of the South Island is
a rugged, isolated and beautiful part of Aotearoa New Zealand. From
Karamea in the north, to Haast in the south, the coast is the largest
geographical Te Whata Ora locality, but with a small population of
32,500. Providing health care in this environment is without doubt
challenging, and the team here have fully adopted a Rural Generalist Model to
ensure an equitable, high level of care is delivered to our community.
The Rural Generalist team is flexible, multi-disciplinary and highly skilled
- joining us will provide you with a raft of experience within the framework of
our community and rural hospital-based services. Outside of work, the
West Coast will also challenge and amaze you - bring your tramping boots,
surfboard, mountain bike and kayak - you will need them all
If you enjoy living
within small rural communities or are wanting a change in lifestyle, then the
West Coast is for you. For
more information on the West Coast and why
it is such a great part of the country, you can view information here.
The Rural Generalist (RG) Team is a
highly motivated and supportive group of SMOs, largely formed of DRHMNZ and
RNZCGP fellows and trainees; FACEMs and FACRRMs. The flexible and multi-disciplinary
nature of the Generalist model means we can offer unique career development
opportunities tailored to individual clinicians.
The RG Team covers primary care,
urgent care, emergency medicine, general medicine, paediatrics, orthopaedics,
and obstetrics/gynaecology. The West Coast also has in-house specialists
(psychiatry, anaesthetics, general surgery + O&G) and - TransAlpine
- partnerships with multiple specialities who support local care and tertiary
transfers.
