Interventional Cardiologist – Whangārei Hospital

at  Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Te Tai Tokerau

• Permanent, full-time Consultant role (1.0 FTE)
• Whangārei, New Zealand
• Join a growing team and service
  Te Whatu Ora, Te Tai Tokerau is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and holds stewardship for equitable health outcomes for Māori as Tāngata Whenua as the highest priority.
  We are seeking an Interventional Cardiologist to deliver clinical care across Cardiology services in the Cath Lab and in outpatient clinics. This position will be one of three interventional cardiologists in Whangārei Hospital providing a thorough and comprehensive cardiology service. The service currently provides diagnostic imaging modalities; Cardiac MRI, CTCA & 3D echo. Pacing is not currently provided however we would be very open to hear from those with this type of experience.
  Whangārei Hospital is the largest hospital in Northland, providing secondary care services across the region and supported by four rural hospitals in Dargaville, Rawene, the Bay of Islands and Kaitaia. Whilst this position is pre-dominantly based in Whangārei, the successful candidate will also work in rural areas from outpatient clinics as needed. Currently there is no on-call commitment, however as we are a growing service, this will change once an inpatient service is established.
  As an Interventional Cardiologist you will join a small but close-knit team dedicated to their patients. You will bring your specialist experience and embrace the challenges involved in developing the service to its maximum potential. You will be a motivated team player that is patient focused. A clinical trial centre has been recently set up in Whangārei with opportunity now available to be involved in local clinical research. You will be able to make meaningful decisions and improve access to specialist cardiac care for a region that has historically been underserved.
  As well as a warm climate, the “winterless north” has excellent schools, affordable housing and scenic coastal areas offering a vast range of recreational activities. We are just two hours’ drive from the international hub of Auckland. As a region Northland is renowned for its beautiful beaches and relaxed lifestyle, take a look at the following websites http://www.whangareinz.com/ and Living in Northland – Northland Regional Council (nrc.govt.nz)
  To be considered, you must have or be eligible for vocational registration in an Internal Medicine (Cardiology) scope of practice with the Medical Council of NZ and have completed interventional cardiology training. Advanced cardiology training is essential and those with pacing skills would be advantageous to the growth of the service.
