Our busy, Emergency Department provides care for 70 000 patients annually. Approximately 25% of the case load is paediatric. We also run a 20 bed Emergency Medical Unit.

We have a wide variety of non-ED rotations available, including anaesthetics, intensive care, paediatrics, and medical education/simulation. We have also supported candidates through other rotations including hyperbaric medicine and neonatal/paediatric ICU. Our mixed ED is accredited for the paediatric log book and we have PEMs on staff.

Rostering is flexible to help maintain a work-life balance. We are very understanding of the importance of time outside of work and are able to accommodate part time needs.
