The opportunity

We are seeking two Fellows to join the Department of Critical Care Medicine. The Department of Critical Care Medicine admits approximately 2000 patients per year. Our case mix includes all adult tertiary specialties apart from cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery (provided by another ICU in Auckland City Hospital) burns and plastic surgery (provided elsewhere in Auckland). There is particular emphasis on neuro-intensive care, tertiary surgical services, trauma and abdominal organ transplantation.

Fellows participate in clinical audit programmes and contribute to the knowledge of medical, nursing and support staff. There are opportunities to gain further experience in education, research, and quality.

The Critical Care Fellow is a 12-month fixed-term position starting February 2027 and is suitable for those nearing the completion of their specialist training in intensive care. The Fellow works on the specialist roster with supervision from a specialist intensivist.

The atmosphere at the Te Toka Tumai is stimulating with a strong academic focus and an organisation-wide commitment to quality and process improvement. The physical environment is modern and spacious, and the equipment and information technology is up to date.

This post is approved by the College of Intensive Care Medicine for transitional year training.
