Mō tō mātou rōpū – About our team

Wellington and Hutt Hospitals provide an excellent environment for basic physician training with rotations available in general medicine, and subspecialties when these positions are not filled by advanced trainees including I.D., Endocrine, Cardiology, Blood and Cancer, Neurology, Renal, Respiratory, AT&R, Geriatrics, and Rheumatology. Registrars intending to sit the FRACP exam will find a comprehensive and coordinated training programme, with weekly exam-focussed tutorials and guidance from both senior registrars and consultants.

Advanced training in subspecialties is available in: Allergy and Immunology, Respiratory and Sleep Medicine (including a dedicated Sleep Medicine registrar), Cardiology, Gastroenterology (through central matching), Rheumatology, Medical Oncology, Clinical and Laboratory Haematology (including Transfusion Medicine), Intensive Care, Nephrology, Infections Diseases and Microbiology, Neurology, Palliative Care, Endocrinology and Chemical Pathology, Clinical Genetics and Geriatrics. 

Cardiology also offer a Central Region registrar rotation. This is a comprehensive three year rotation incorporating exposure to tertiary and secondary care centres leaving candidates ideally placed to apply for SMO positions or consider fellowship options. The first 12 months will be spent at Nelson AND Hutt Hospitals training in general Cardiology with exposure to interventional Cardiology and Imaging, and the following 24 months as part of the advanced trainee programme at Wellington Hospital.

The General Medical service has dedicated advanced training positions (at Hutt and Wellington Hospitals) which allow the trainee room for negotiation to attend subspecialty clinics as well as general medicine clinics in combination with acute ward-based general medicine. Time is available for research and audit activity. The hospitals have a strong relationship with the University of Otago, and trainees also provide teaching for medical students and junior doctors. 

Advanced trainees are strongly encouraged to attend relevant conferences and courses, and leave is provided for this purpose. Training costs associated with the examination are met by the hospital, and includes books and exam preparation courses.

There are options for job-sharing and part-time training to facilitate and support exam preparation.
