This was a great placement in the rehab unit at Moruya. It’s just you on the ward and the consultant flies in once a week but is very easily contactable the rest of the time if you need. The nursing staff are really nice, supportive and helpful. They use an entirety electronic system (iEMR) except for scripts. I got put up in nice accommodation a few minutes away and had a hire car - just had to fly in and out of Canberra which was a 2 hour drive away!
Worked here twice as an ED CMO. First time I enjoyed, however 2nd time I felt it was a very unsafe place to work as the doctor in charge, there were floods so couldn't get sick patients transferred out, plus several Cat 2s presenting at same time, felt out of my depth. Wouldn't return at present.
Worked ED CMO in Moruya. Covered ED overnight. GP anaesthetics on call for airway. Friendly and capable nurses who work hard and keep you right. Attend ward met calls but not non urgent work.
