RETRIEVAL /PRE-HOSPITAL REGISTRAR
Sydney, Australia
Greater Sydney Area HEMS
Ambulance Service of New South Wales

Exciting opportunities exist for Critical Care (Emergency, Anaesthetics, ICU) Registrars to undertake a minimum 6-month rotation in Pre-Hospital and Retrieval Medicine from July 2010. The service performs over 2500 missions per year from three bases within the greater Sydney area. The term gives trainees excellent exposure to both Pre-Hospital and Critical Care retrieval work in advanced winch-capable helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and intensive care ambulances.

The service provides a complete orientation, training and continuing education package for all candidates. Training incorporates helicopter winching operations, Urban Search and Rescue, motor vehicle extrication and Pre-Hospital trauma as well as complex inter-hospital Critical Care. The service is accredited for Emergency Medicine and Anaesthetic training with the relevant Australasian Colleges.

Greater Sydney Area HEMS has close links with other retrieval services, including Careflight Queensland and HEMS London. Ongoing rotations may be facilitated with these services for suitable applicants. We can also facilitate rotations with local anaesthetic and Emergency Departments.
