Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia Australasian College for Emergency Medicine Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Why Tamworth Hospital?

Tamworth is the regional referral centre for the New South Wales North West—an area geographically the same size as Tasmania, and serving a population well in excess of 200,000. The cost of rent and house prices, the cache of good schools, cafes and restaurants, together with an enthusiastic local sporting community makes Tamworth incredibly affordable and a great place to live. The virtues of country life are matched with world class critical care delivery at the hospital, overseen by FACEMs involved in the ED and the Retrieval Service.

Emergency Advanced Trainees will have access to 6 months of Anaesthetics, ICU and Retrieval Medicine. There are consultants on shift between 7.00am am every day, with a pro-active and highly supportive on-call service overnight. The case-mix includes rural trauma, complex medical conditions, snake envenomations, critically ill children and late-presenting illness (country people are tough) - as well as the usual run-of-the-mill stuff. The Emergency Department sees in excess of 43,000 presentations per annum. 27% are paediatric presentations and a 25% admission rate.

We have a comprehensive education program with protected teaching days (10 hours of ED education per fortnight) with access to interdisciplinary SIMs on every education day. Affiliated with the University of Newcastle, we also have access to high fidelity SIM labs at their Tamworth Education Centre. We are known for our comprehensive Primary Exam Revision program and our Primary Exam Viva Course held twice a year as well as a highly successful Fellowship exam preparation package. Currently we are ACEM accredited as Tier 1 non major referral as well as fulfilling the Paediatric Emergency Portfolio (PEP).

We are affiliated with the Network 4 ACEM accredited training network - which means you can transition smoothly through all the accredited training sites, which includes John Hunter, Maitland, Port Macquarie, Calvary Mater and Tamworth Hospitals if you wish. Or you can complete everything except your compulsory tertiary 6mths right here in Tamworth. Lay down some roots, get your children into excellent schooling, and know that at the end of your training there are opportunities for you as a new FACEM locally.

ACEM - Accredited Training Networks Project

The breadth of case-mix and volume of high acuity patients, combined with working in a relatively small team, means you will get to see a lot, do a lot and learn a with close and supportive FACEM supervision. With flexible rostering, access to leave and a highly successful exam preparation programme, emergency training at Tamworth Hospital is truly the whole package.
