About the Hospital:

North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Public Hospital Bruce) and Clare Holland House are now run and operated by Canberra Health Services (CHS)

This is a significant milestone as the ACT Government moves towards delivering a new billion-dollar hospital on Canberra’s Northside.

The current North Canberra Hospital is a level 4 hospital that provides a range of acute and sub-acute services including community based care to the residents of the northside of Canberra and Southern NSW.   North Canberra Hospital (NCH) is a 270 bed public hospital located in Canberra’s expanding northside. North Canberra Hospital operates a 24 hour Emergency Department. Inpatient services include general medicine, surgery, maternity, mental health and critical care.

Other service modalities include day surgery, specialist outpatient clinics, Hospital in the Home and the Geriatric Rapid Acute Care Evaluation service that reaches into aged care facilities across the ACT.

The new Northside Hospital will be built on the existing Calvary Hospital campus in Bruce. It will be a modern, state-of-the-art hospital for patients, visitors and its workforce and will provide more beds and increased services. Until then, it's business as usual at the NCH, and we'll keep providing high-quality care to our patients and community.

About the role:

The ACT Physician Training Network encompasses the Canberra Hospital Woden Campus, North Canberra Hospital, Goulburn Base Hospital and Southeastern Regional Hospital (Bega).

We have over 73 Basic Physician Trainees (BPTs) and over 40 Advanced Trainees in all medical specialties. The Physician Training office is led by the Network Director of Physician Education (NDPE) and supported by a Medical Education Support Officer (MESO).

The Senior Medical Registrars (SMRs) are important leadership positions in CHS network and will work alongside the campus Directors of Physician Education (DPE) and Medical Education Support Officer (MESOs) to deliver a high-quality physician education and training program in line with the RACP curriculum.

The SMRs will represent junior medical staff by acting as a representative on committees such as the ACT Network Physician Training Committee. The SMRs will assist with BPT recruitment, term allocations and rostering.

The roles will be split into an administrative/educational component (0.5FTE) and clinical component (0.5FTE). The SMR’s clinical duties will be negotiated with reference to the applicant’s specific training needs as part of their overall specialty advanced training. There will be also opportunities for undertaking research and teaching at the ANU Medical School.

The position would most suit an advanced trainee in general medicine at any level but a senior trainee in another discipline aiming to acquire more expertise in medical education would also be highly regarded.

• Undergo a pre-employment National Police Check.
• Comply with Canberra Health Services Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination policy.
