Full time, permanent/fixed term positions 

6 month or 12 month attachments                                         

There are exciting opportunities for Registrars to join Te Whatu Ora Te Matau a Maui Hawke’s Bay in full time positions.   Applications are invited for the position of ED Registrars for next year commencing in February and/or August 2024.  The Emergency Department offer supportive working conditions and are committed to excellent teaching.

Hawke’s Bay Hospital is a 400 bed hospital providing acute and elective care for the Hawke's Bay region.  We have most major medical and surgical subspecialties on site (except cardiothoracic and neurosurgery), as well as paediatrics and O&G.  We are well supported by a strong regional ICU team.  We have strengthening Primary and Community health services and an increasingly integrated approach to health and health care. 

The Emergency Department is a mixed ED and has approximately 46,000 attendances a year, with a 30% admission rate.  The general patient acuity is high, with a significant amount of major trauma.  The Emergency Department runs four observation unit beds.  You will join a team of sixteen Emergency Medicine Physicians, one Medical Officer, fifteen Registrars, eight House Officers and four Nurse Practitioners.  We are accredited as a tier 2 non-major referral site for training with the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (24 months ED training) and offer a regular and protected teaching programme.  There is the potential for suitably qualified advanced trainees to rotate through Paediatrics or Medicine, by application.

If you’re not already living in Hawke's Bay and making the most of what's on offer, you should know it boasts an enviable lifestyle with great homes, superb schools, a burgeoning economy, and no traffic headaches.  Whether you like living by the sea, next to the river, nestled in the hills, in a village community, or an art deco city...Hawke's Bay has it all.
