Registrar/Senior Registrar - Anaesthetic (524809L3)

Provisional Fellowships at Launceston General Hospital (LGH)

The Role:

The LGH is a vibrant and busy large regional hospital in Northern Tasmania offering two provisional fellowship positions which provide a perfect platform for transitioning from senior registrar to consultant practice. The anaesthetic dept provides services to around 13,000 elective and 5000 acute cases per year covering adult, obstetric and paediatric services in both main theatre, day procedure/endoscopy and birthing suite.

General Provisional Fellowship training opportunities exist to both consolidate and extend clinical experience in the areas of general surgery (including upper GI & hepatobiliary), obstetrics, paediatrics, major orthopaedics, ENT/head & neck, major plastic and reconstructive surgery, urology, robotic surgery, ophthalmic surgery & acute pain management. Mastering advanced techniques in regional anaesthesia is also a core component of the provisional fellowship year. Provisional Fellows at the LGH are supported to participate in teaching UTAS medical students and prevocational trainees. 

Multiple opportunities exist to pursue clinical support roles, aligned with ANZCA’s roles of a Specialist Anaesthetist. Fellows are actively encouraged to engage in activities that support growth across these domains, including education, research, leadership, and health advocacy.

As well as general fellowship training, in 2027 the LGH is offering special provisional fellowships in Perioperative Medicine and Simulation.

The LGH is an accredited clinical immersion site for the ANZCA’s Chapter of Perioperative Medicine course, ready to provide high quality POM training by a dedicated team of perioperative anaesthetists and physicians, with completion of the full training program possible during the 12-month POM PFY. Applicants interested in undertaking the Perioperative Medicine course should indicate this intention within their application.

The Simulation PFY will join the rapidly expanding simulation department under the guidance of the Sim Lead with links to all procedural disciplines and strong connections to the University of Tasmania (UTAS).  Simulation opportunities include training of anaesthetic consultants, trainees, JMOs and medical students in theatre and interdisciplinary team environments (eg obstetric, paediatrics) as well as in situ simulation & ‘ninja sim’ training exercises. The anaesthetic dept manages its own well-resourced simulation lab which is used for skills training (eg awake fibreoptic intubation, emergency response or mini-simulations). The PF will participate in scenario writing, preparation/pre-briefing, running manikin technology plus develop of debriefing/feedback skills with a view to contributing to the ongoing development of the simulation service.
