Visiting Anaesthetist

4 weeks ago

Heidelberg, Australia Austin Health Full time

**About the role**:

- **Hours per week**: 15hrs
- **Employment status**:Permanent Part-time
- **Commencement**: Early 2024

**Austin Health** is one of Victoria’s largest health care providers. Our 11,000 employees and volunteers provide safe, high quality, person-centred care at Austin Hospital, Olivia Newton-John Centre, Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital and Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre, as well as in the community through Hospital-in-the-Home and partner health services. We are an internationally recognised leader in clinical teaching, training and research and have affiliations with many leading universities and research institutes. We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our purpose, which is to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.

**About the department**:
The Department of Anaesthesia is located on Level 2 of the Austin Tower. The Department comprises 35 full time Staff Anaesthetists, 68 Visiting Anaesthetists, 23 Anaesthesia Registrars/Fellows, 6 Critical Care HMOs, 3 Research Nurses, 8 Pain Nurses, 10 Anaesthesia Liaison Nurses, and 5 Administrative Staff.

The Austin operating theatre complex is situated on Level 2 of the Harold Stokes building and consists of 11 theatres, 2 endoscopy suites and 2 procedure rooms. Anaesthesia is also undertaken in Radiology and in the Cardiology Cath Lab.

The Surgery Centre opened in 2008 on the Repatriation Campus. It is an autonomous elective surgery centre but is incorporated into Austin Health. It consists of 8 theatres, an endoscopy room, and a procedure room, and has a separate Head of Anaesthesia. Administrative services are provided by the Department of Anaesthesia at the Austin Campus.

Most surgical specialties, apart from Cardiac Transplantation, Obstetrics and Complex Paediatric Surgery, are undertaken at the Austin and are covered by the Department. Surgical specialties at the Austin include Thoracic, Cardiac, Neurosurgery, Hepatobiliary, Orthopaedic, ENT, Ophthalmology and Vascular. The Austin is a state wide referral centre for liver transplantation and spinal injuries.

The Austin also has a Pain Service encompassing acute and chronic pain.

There is a strong research structure in the Department with a Head of Research supported by 3 research nurses.

The Austin is co-located with the Mercy Hospital for Women and whilst the Anaesthesia Departments at both hospitals are separate, they have close ties.

It is recognised that an anaesthesia department at a teaching hospital needs a wider range of skills than any one anaesthetist could have. Therefore each individual anaesthetist will need to bring their own set of skills which will complement those of others and enable the department to cover all contingencies and provide a comprehensive service. No individual anaesthetist can be expected to be proficient in every area of modern anaesthesia.

**To be successful for this role you must**:

- Be a registered Medical Practitioner with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)
- Current Fellowship of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists or equivalent
- Have appropriate training and experience applicable to the field of Anaesthesia, Sub-specialty interests strongly encouraged
- Demonstrate a commitment to high quality patient care
- Demonstrate a commitment to working as a team member with peer medical, junior medical, nursing and other clinical staff to provide efficient, safe and quality care across the continuum, and
- Demonstrated commitment and ongoing activity in research and/or clinical audit activities
- Involvement in teaching and training of medical, technical, and nursing staff, including at undergraduate and post-graduate level
- Demonstrated capability and interest in research
