BASIC INFORMATION<br />
The Royal North Shore and Ryde Health Service<br />
comprises the Royal North Shore and Ryde Hospitals,<br />
and its associated health services, which together<br />
meet the health needs of most of the northern Sydney<br />
region. RNSH has some state-wide responsibility for<br />
clinical services in pain management and research,<br />
cardiology, severe plastics and burns injury, neonatal<br />
intensive care, spinal cord injury, high-risk obstetrics,<br />
interventional neuroradiology and cerebrovascular<br />
embolisation.<br />
REASONS TO APPLY<br />
This is one of the few places that has it all: a<br />
Tertiary Level 1 busy Emergency Department with<br />
major trauma, state services and paediatrics in<br />
a friendly place with great teaching, including an<br />
internationally renowned Simulation Centre, research<br />
and innovations opportunities and fabulous staff.<br />
RNSH also prides itself on the care of the Junior<br />
Medical Staff, education and research opportunities<br />
and outstanding successes in both Primary and<br />
Fellowship exams.<br />
RNSH is just north of the Harbour Bridge (20 minutes<br />
to the City and Neutral Bay, 25 minutes to Balmoral, and<br />
30 minutes to Manly Beach) and has good transport<br />
links, so a JMO’s after-hours lifestyle is looking good!<br />
Secondment to Port Macquarie is at the beach- what<br />
more could you ask for as a rural secondment!<br />
The RMOA (Resident Medical Officer Association)<br />
organises many social and sporting activities<br />
throughout each term and year, and maintains the<br />
RMO lounge and amenities. The Association also<br />
contributes to advocacy for RMOs on issues of medical<br />
and industrial politics and works collaboratively with<br />
the JMO Manager and DPET on innovations for all.<br />
