Staff Specialist in Emergency Medicine
Campbelltown Hospital is seeking to recruit two Staff Specialists in Emergency Medicine to be part of our growing Emergency Department

A major redevelopment of Campbelltown Hospital has commenced, including a new clinical services block due for completion in late 2002. This will include an Emergency Department with excellent facilities & improved diagnostic services. The majority of clinical services, including Emergency, will advance from level 4 to level 5. Recent enhancements to services include on-site CT scanning & a 24 hour ambulatory care service.

The Emergency Department sees 37,000 patients annually, a third of whom are children. The current senior staff includes two Emergency Physicians and a Staff Specialist Paediatrician.

This is an excellent opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a major development of emergency services. There are also significant opportunities to link this with an attractive lifestyle while remaining close to the center of Sydney which is only 45 minutes away via the M5 extension. Local facilities are excellent & the possibilities for living within a comfortable commuting distance of the Hospital are many and varied.

Give us a call - it may turn out to be the best decision you ever made.
