The Role
As a Medical Registrar at Southland Hospital, you will gain exposure in the care of patients covering all the subspecialist groups, through working in our General Medicine runs! You will work closely alongside your colleagues in 1 of 6, tight-knit, Consultant led teams (each team consisting of a Consultant, Registrar, House Officer and Trainee Intern). This will provide you with the opportunity to receive great one on one training, consistent support and supervision.
