Job Details

This is a level 2 ICU providing a high standard of general intensive care, including complex multi-system support (invasive mechanical ventilation, cardiovascular monitoring and support, and renal replacement therapy). The ICU is a mixed unit, admitting medical, surgical, trauma, and pediatric patients. The ICU functions as a "closed unit", with the ICU consultants primarily responsible for the management decisions required in the delivery of critical care.
The unit has 6 beds with a flexible mix of HDU and ICU-level patients. Presently in the process of expanding our capacity to 8 beds, including two state-of-the-art isolation rooms. The unit admits around 500 patients annually.
The ICU department currently employs 8 senior medical officers and 6 ICU senior house officers. The SMOs provide exclusive cover to ICU on a rostered basis, the ICU roster being separate from the anesthesia one. When not rostered to ICU, the SMOs also provide daytime anesthesia sessions. The roster has mandatory provisions for fatigue-relief, with the morning rostered off after a weeknight on call and the whole Monday rostered off after a weekend on call. The weekly schedule for a full-time position comprises 30 hours of clinical work and 10 hours of non-clinical work, and 10 hours of rostered time off.
The unit is accredited by CICM (College of Intensive Care Medicine) for Basic Training and as Rural Rotation for both early and advanced trainees. The unit is also accredited by ANZCA (Australia and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists).

Company

In the early 1990s, Australia and New Zealand had an urgent need for doctors. A need we were born to fill in the form of an unprecedented business. Since then, we’ve successfully matched thousands of doctors with clients around the world. Today, we place doctors in New Zealand, Australia, Guam, the Caribbean, Canada, China, and of course, the US. Historically, we’ve had doctors in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates — and we regularly expand into new countries. This worldwide reach means that if a location is placeable, we’re probably there. And it makes us unique among locum tenens agencies.

Our reach is global. But our service is personal. And our size allows us to move with both the speed and attention to detail our doctors and clients deserve. At the same time, we’re part of the CHG family of companies, which gives us the resources and support of the largest organization in locum tenens. Although we operate independently, we’re backed by a powerhouse of resources to ensure everything goes to plan.
