The Critical Care Department at Waikato Hospital is the tertiary provider for Intensive Care to the Midland region. Our new unit is a state of the art, 16 bed facility providing care to patients requiring general intensive care, cardiac surgery and a level two facility for paediatric patients. We average around 1400 patients per year, across the three specialities. We operate a retrieval service both by air and road for critical care patients and a large contingency of cardiac patients.
The Department has an oversight function to patients in the 'open' High Dependency Unit, however, care to these patients is provided by the primary teams.
The unit is credentialed by the College of Critical Care Medicine at level C24. The role is supported by 14 registrars covering 24/7. The nursing team is well developed with 24/7 senior nurse cover.
This is a challenging role which demands outstanding inter-professional collaboration skills with a commitment to integrate into the existing team.
