Consultant Psychiatrist, Addictions — Tauranga
Ethicare is recruiting a Consultant Psychiatrist for a specialist addiction service in Tauranga, at 0.6 FTE. It is a clinical leadership role across the Bay of Plenty district, inside a service with an established peer group of psychiatrists and a training scheme behind it.
About the role
The specialist addiction service covers the Bay of Plenty district and works with addiction clinicians, GPs and community pharmacists as well as its own multidisciplinary team. You would provide clinical leadership in addiction treatment, and deliver assessment, treatment and consultation for substance use and addiction presentations.
Psychiatric registrars come through the Upper Central North Island training scheme, and fifth- and sixth-year medical students from the University of Auckland rotate through, so teaching is part of the week. Service development and quality improvement sit with the consultant group.
