Here you can pursue what drives you, both professionally and personally. Today, as the rest of the world feels increasingly generic, our different-ness – our Tasmanian-ness – is among our most valuable assets. We invite you to be part of this special place, to quietly pursue the extraordinary, whether it be bushwalking, mountain biking or paddock to plate dining. Tasmanian | The quiet pursuit of the extraordinary [https://tasmanian.com.au/] About the Role and Team: The Department of Health is seeking motivated and experienced Medical Practitioners to join the Department of Emergency Medicine across Tasmania’s North West Region in a Registrar role. The Mersey Community Hospital (MCH) services communities across the north west coast and works closely with the North West Regional Hospital (NWRH) to provide integrated emergency and inpatient care. Mersey Community Hospital is a modern facility located in Latrobe, Tasmania, providing community based and subacute services. It plays an important role within the regional health network, supporting patient flow and delivering care in collaboration with NWRH and the Launceston General Hospital. The MCH Emergency Department manages approximately 30,000 presentations per year, with an admission and transfer rate of around 15 percent. The Department sees a broad range of patients across all age groups, with a case mix similar to NWRH but generally of lower acuity. A significant proportion of presentations are low acuity and primary care type presentations, reflecting regional general practice access challenges and community health literacy. The Emergency Department was redeveloped in 2013 and includes a 7 bed Emergency Medical Unit, supporting short stay observation and ongoing treatment. As a Registrar in Emergency Medicine at MCH, you will provide emergency medical care to patients presenting to the Emergency Department, working under the supervision of Emergency Consultants. The department is staffed by FACEMs and Rural Generalists with specialist emergency skills, supported by Career Medical Officers, RMOs, and Interns, with an Emergency Consultant available on call at all times. Due to limited inpatient specialty services, there is a strong emphasis on clinical decision making, early escalation, and appropriate referral pathways. MCH provides inpatient care in General Medicine within defined guidelines, as well as Palliative Care and Rehabilitation. Patients requiring specialty services such as Surgery, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, or Obstetrics and Gynaecology are transferred to NWRH, Launceston General Hospital, or other tertiary centres as required. MCH is not a designated trauma centre, and ambulance transported trauma patients are typically diverted to higher acuity hospitals. However, Registrars are required to manage undifferentiated and occasionally critically unwell patients, with a focus on stabilisation and retrieval where required. The Emergency Department is accredited for the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine Emergency Medicine Certificate and Diploma programs and offers a structured education program supporting junior doctors. The MCH ED is not currently accredited for the ACEM training programme, however in the near future we are hoping to become a networked site with NWRH. This role offers an excellent opportunity to develop broad emergency medicine skills in a regional setting, with strong consultant support, exposure to a diverse patient population, and a focus on clinical autonomy, teamwork, and decision making. Details of Appointment Fixed term full time, shift-worker positions working 76 hours per fortnight with 10 hours paid education time that includes a structured education day rostered every 4 weeks and self-directed learning in the second fortnight of the month.
