Where you’ll be working

The 742-bed hospital treats more than 57,000 inpatients, triages more than 65,000 emergency attendees and welcomes more than 1,700 newborn babies in a year.

In addition, more than 17,000 operations are performed in the 11 operating theatres and over 100,000 occasions of services are provided in the clinics to outpatients.

As a Consultant Anaesthetist, you will provide specialist anaesthetic services in the Interventional Suite and pre-admission clinic, and as part of the Acute Pain Service and Obstetric Anaesthesia service, as well as providing offsite services to Medical Imaging, Intensive Care and the Emergency Department.

You will join a collegial team of 20 Consultant Anaesthetists, assisted by a great team of Registrars, who provide a wide range of services to both public and private patients.

The department is accredited by ANZCA, and you will have the opportunity to share your knowledge and skills, providing clinical leadership and supervision/teaching for anaesthetic trainees, junior medical staff as well as other clinical staff.

Opportunities also exist locally for private practice, with lists available at the local private hospital and day surgery centre.

The health service is supportive of Anaesthetists looking to conduct clinical or academic research, or hold educational appointments.
