CAG provides anaesthetic cover to five hospitals. These include – a full care private hospital ( Ramsay Cairns Private Hospital), two fully equipped stand alone day-stay hospitals, a dental-surgical day surgery and part-time cover in a rural hospital in a nearby town. The major hospital involved is in the process of adding new operating theatres and anaesthetic service requirements are increasing over the near future. There is a secondary referral major public hospital in Cairns and additional part-time appointments may be available in that hospital.
CAG covers all surgical specialities in Cairns with the exception of open cardiothoracic and neurosurgery. The position is for a partner to cover all specialties from the spectrum and to be able to adjust coverage as required.
The patient spectrum of CAG includes children ( from about 1 year of age only but with no emergency work ) through all ages to the very frail elderly.
Surgical specialties have a heavy leaning toward orthopaedics though all specialties are covered including robotic urology, general and gynaecological surgery.
There is moderate obstetric workload though high risk patients are managed only in the public hospital.
CAG coverage also includes ENT, endoscopic lists, Cardiac Catheter Lab and ECT.
The Cairns Private Hospital patients requiring close monitoring post-operatively are managed in the Coronary Care Unit and those requiring Intensive Care are transferred to and managed at the public hospital.
The position includes an approximately 1 in 8 contribution to the on call roster though call-ins themselves are not usually onerous.
CAG currently has 16 full and part time partners in an associateship with all members sharing business costs.
