Requisition ID: CAM26548 - Central Coast Local Health District - Neurology - 3rd Year Advanced Trainee 

Central Coast Local Health District (CCLHD) has an opportunity for suitably trained and experienced medical officers interested in working on the Central Coast.  We value our staff as our most important resource and strive to provide support and development opportunities throughout your career with us and we invite you to be part of our community.

Gosford Hospital is an excellent centre for neurology training.  We offer a neurological service to a population of 350,000 people and the Year 3 AT will gain experience managing a broad spectrum of neurological presentations.  The department is currently staffed by 15 neurologists, a mix of staff specialists and VMOs.  We have a collegiate, cohesive department which previous registrars have found supportive.

In addition to inpatient general neurology services there is opportunity for sub-speciality management of hyperacute stroke and outpatient neurophysiology, movement disorder, multiple sclerosis, and botulinum toxin clinics. 

As Gosford Hospital is accredited for 3 advanced trainees, there exists a lot of flexibility for tailoring the 3rd core year to the particular needs or interests of the trainee.  Areas of weakness, or where experience is lacking, could be remedied. There is opportunity to complete clinical research, and contribute to clinical trials and clinical audit.

Gosford hospital offers a particular opportunity for a 3rd year AT to prepare for their first year as a consultant.  In addition to fine-tuning their neurology practice, there is a fairly unique opportunity for an AT to practice in a junior consultant-type role (like a UK senior registrar) in a supportive and collegiate environment.

The NSW Central Coast is positioned between Sydney and Newcastle, with a population that is expected to grow from the current approximate 300,000 to 450,000 before 2030.

Inpatient services include Coronary and Intensive Care, General Medicine, Neurology, Renal, Geriatrics, General Surgery, Obstetrics, Mental Health, Paediatric and Emergency services. Outpatient and community services include Allied Health, Dental, Podiatry, Nursing, Child and Adolescent and Family Health, Drug and Alcohol, and Cardiac Rehabilitation.

Wyong Hospital is an acute major metropolitan hospital providing inpatient, outpatient and emergency services to residents in the northern part of the NSW Central Coast. Wyong Hospital has approx 300 inpatient beds and provides a range of medical, surgical and critical care services. Specialty services include Intensive Care, Coronary Care, Drug and Alcohol, Gastroenterology, Stroke, Mental Health, Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Vascular, Urology and Cancer services.
