A consultant-led ICU with excellent supervision and teaching

A service committed to registrar development and wellbeing
A hospital that values flexibility, education and work-life balance
This role offers the clinical depth of a busy ICU combined with the lifestyle advantages of regional living.

Affordable housing and short commute times
Pristine coastlines, national parks and wilderness areas
