The Tasmanian Health Service is seeking interest from suitable applicants for Registrar and Fellow vacancies in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH). The RHH Department of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine (DDHM) is fully accredited for ANZCA Advanced Certificate of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine training, subject to the applicant meeting ANZCA requirements. The positions are also accredited by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, and the Australian College for Rural and Remote Medicine for advanced training as a Special Skills Category A term, and are approved by the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society for the SPUMS Diploma of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine.
All applicants must be fit to dive as per AS/NZS 2299.1 or AS/NZS 4774.2. The SPUMS Diploma is suitable for registrars at any level of training. The ANZCA Advanced Certificate programme requires candidates to be in their Fellowship year or Post‐Fellowship.
* Applications can be accepted from Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care Medicine, General Practice, Rural & Remote Medicine, or other training programmes.
* Under the direction and supervision of the Medical Director, Supervisor of Training, and DDHM specialist medical staff, the successful applicants will: be responsible for day‐to‐day management of public and private Diving and Hyperbaric inpatients and outpatients within the Hospital; provide after‐hours emergency cover at the hospital in accordance with the DDHM roster (supported by on‐call specialists); undertake the research requirements associated with the SPUMS DipDHM; undertake the training requirements of the ANZCA Advanced Certificate of Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine (12‐month appointments only); hold general or limited registration with the Medical Board of Australia; and hold current Tasmanian Working with Children Registration (where applicable and as determined by individual position requirements).
The DDHM is the State referral centre for diving emergencies and is the only medical recompression facility in Tasmania. The facility recently entered an exciting new phase, moving into a world‐class dual‐function, triple‐lock, multi‐place Hyperbaric/Hypobaric chamber complex in the new RHH redevelopment – the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
Benefits include protected time for teaching and attendance at specialty training programmes, support to attend short courses in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine held each year at either Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth or HMAS Penguin in Sydney, and opportunities for field visits to professional and offshore diving operations whilst working at the facility.
