Looking for somewhere challenging, rewarding...somewhere fundamentally different?

Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) is seeking a motivated advanced trainee to work as Endocrinology Registrar in the Department of Medicine. Endocrine trainees looking for a different elective year and general medicine trainees, interested in diabetes, endocrinology and remote and indigenous health are encouraged to apply.

The expanding Endocrinology and Diabetes team at ASH consists of 3 local Endocrinologists and four Diabetes Nurse Educators. The high prevalence of diabetes in the local population (40% of indigenous adults) provides opportunity to improve your knowledge and management of diabetes. Hospital work involves outpatient clinics (Diabetes and general Endocrinology), ward consults and outreach clinics.

The medicine here is entirely unique. More than 70% of patients are Indigenous - many from remote communities. Co-morbidities and social conditions can be complex and effective communication is essential. Alice Springs Hospital is a 183 bed teaching hospital affiliated with the Flinders University South Australia and Charles Darwin University, Royal Darwin Hospital, Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre, with many visiting specialists. The catchment area is over a million square kilometres with a strong focus on Indigenous and remote health.

The Department of Medicine staff consists of a mix of General Physicians and other Specialists, many with dual training and multiple Advanced Trainees and Basic Trainees. We have local Cardiology, Rheumatology, Infectious Diseases, Palliative Care, Alcohol and other Drugs, Endocrinology, Oncology, a large Renal unit, Gastroenterology, Respiratory, Rehabilitation and many regular visiting specialists. There is on site General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Rehabilitation, Day Procedure Unit and an 11 bed Intensive Care Unit. There are four General Medical teams, a busy Outpatient Department and we provide outreach clinics to some of the most remote parts of Australia.

Alice Springs is the regional hub of Central Australia with an urban population of approximately 30,000 people. It is multicultural with well-established schools and amenities. Alice is bicycle-friendly - rarely taking more than 10 minutes to get anywhere. Out of town are places to camp under the stars, swim through gorges, explore rocky mountain ranges and hit world-class mountain bike trails.
