Work with us
General Practitioner, Physician Associate, Registrar or Nurse Practitioner? We'd like to talk with you about joining our Team at Te Awamutu Medical Centre!
Te Awamutu Medical Centre is CORNERSTONE accredited (since 2006), the highest accreditation possible under the Royal NZ College of General Practitioners.
We’re a cohesive Team with a Medical Director, 14 General Practitioners, Physician Associates, Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Prescriber, registered Nurses, dedicated Diabetes Nurses, a Clinical Pharmacist, Community Health Worker, Health Care Assistants, General Manager, Practice Manager and Administrators – just under 60 of us, full and part time.
Patients have access to pharmacy, physiotherapy clinic, X-ray and ultrasound, mental health counsellors and visiting specialists within the building, and Pathlab next to us.
Our Urgent Care Clinic (UCC), open 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday, services the community’s urgent medical and accident needs without appointment. We hold a clinic at a local Marae one day every fortnight and a clinic at a local school one day a week during the school term. We are also providers to Aged Care facilities in Te Awamutu and surrounds.
We have an extensive range of clinical services - you'll find this here @ New Patient Information
Medtech Evolution is our practice management software of choice.
Our practice hours are Monday to Friday, 8am-6pm with afterhours cover for patients provided by Anglesea Clinic in Hamilton, and ‘Practice Plus’ online consultations.
We are a well-resourced medical practice and a Team that embraces new ideas and discussion to affect positive change. We are constantly evolving. Our care for and communication with patients is a priority, as is our support for staff, their wellbeing and competency. We also value our relationships with the affiliated clinicians and organisations we work alongside.
We provide a supportive environment that allows newer clinicians to grow and thrive. We have two senior teaching fellows who support our trainees with regular scheduled teaching and supervision sessions. Our teachers in turn are supported by a very collegial clinical team. We are a practice that encourages sharing, learning and education and to support this we provide weekly peer group CME sessions and monthly reviews of cases and diagnoses, as well as our scheduled teaching sessions.
Due to our large size, our practice is able to offer a wide range of services, clinics and features. Our aim is to provide a one-stop shop for our patients, as best we can. By offering well-resourced urgent care facilities as well as family medicine, our staff enjoy a wide range of exposure to patient presentations, diagnostic tools, treatments and procedures.
If you are interested in working in a busy, innovative practice that provides great support for growth and learning, then Te Awamutu Medical Centre is a great choice.
