It is this relational and community aspect, though, that draws people to this career path, and Family Medicine or General Practice in New Zealand is no exception. There is no better way to learn the intricacies of the New Zealand culture than to be so directly involved in the lives of the community.
In New Zealand, General Practitioners are the ‘frontline’ of the medical world, carrying out much of the first contact and diagnosis, ranging to, in some cases, procedural roles such as obstetrics and minor surgical procedures. Many private specialists will only see patients who have been initially referred by a GP.
Much of the Family Medicine or General Practice specialty in New Zealand is carried out through the comprehensive public health system, where most GPs are employed either on locum contracts, under hourly rates and the freedom to choose their work hours; or permanent salaries.
Ochre Recruitment has an extensive client base throughout New Zealand of practices and clinics looking for both permanent and locum General Practitioners. Our consultants will take the time to find the right medical job to suit your lifestyle.
