Consultant Emergency Medicine

Where you’ll be working

You will be working for a NSW Health Service in a major acute specialist hospital that serves a population of 100,000. This 180-bed facility delivers a full range of services including Emergency Care, Mental Health, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Cancer Care and Palliative Care. An exciting time to join as the hospital is currently undergoing a major $180m redevelopment to expand its capacity and services. This hospital has close ties to the University of Newcastle Department of Rural Health, offering opportunities for teaching and research.

As an Emergency Medicine Consultant, you will contribute to the management and provision of clinical excellence and patient-focused care in the ED. The ED sees approximately 33,000 attendances per annum with an admission rate of approximately 30-35% and a 20% paediatric case load. The department manages a very much above average acutely ill patient load, with Triage Category 2 patients being in the region of 17%. Patients admitted through the emergency department present with acute general medical, general cardiology problems, or acute general surgery. The Staff Specialist Team is transitioning to a FACEM-led model of care which will provide you with multiple progressive career options.

Core scope of practice includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway management, evaluation and treatment of shock, priorities in trauma management, control of haemorrhage, procedural sedation and the initial treatment of all other clinical emergencies. There are opportunities to take over portfolios as Simulation coordinator, JMO coordinator or Clinical Lead in Ultrasound.

Where you’ll be living

You will be relocating to a regional city on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, idyllically located near the banks of the iconic Manning River. This scenic location offers a relaxed, beachy lifestyle within reach of metropolitan cities, for a perfectly balanced lifestyle. Here, you will be surrounded by nature’s bounty, with a vast catalogue of reserves, national parks, beaches and waterfalls to explore. You will enjoy the benefit of affordable housing, a lower cost of living, family-friendly communities and excellent schooling options. This stunning region attracts tourists all year-round with its coastal scenery and heritage hubs, boasting a range of recreational activities and outdoor adventure. Sydney is only a 3-hour drive away, and a nearby local airport offers daily flights to major Australian cities.
