ANZCA Advanced Training

Advanced Training Position in Hyperbaric Medicine

The Hyperbaric Medicine Unit offers a training position in Hyperbaric Medicine to Anaesthesia Registrars who have completed all other modules of training. This would be undertaken as part of the 3rd Year of Advanced Training.

This position is half-time for one year. The remaining time is spent under the direction of the Department of Anaesthesia.

Positions are also available for non-anaesthesia trainees or trainees from other countries. However those interested should contact the Director of the Unit, as individual arrangements will be needed. Accreditation of the time spent working in this unit needs to be confirmed by your training supervisory body prior to commencement.

As a trainee in Hyperbaric Medicine, the registrar receives a period of familiarisation before being introduced to the on-call roster. They will participate in weekly outpatients sessions and will be available for consultations regarding new patient referrals.

The unit also coordinates the Divers Emergency Service, a 24 hour emergency telephone consultation service for diving emergencies. The registrar also participates in this as their familiarity increases.

They would also be expected to present selected lectures to a variety of courses provided by the unit. These include Medical Officers, Nurses, Diving Medical Technicians and diving groups.
