Doctors in Training 2025 - Registrar - Emergency Department - Launceston General Hospital
Are you an ACEM/CICM/ACRRM trainee looking for a new adventure in 2025?
We love Launceston. Let us show you why!
As the first rays of sunlight catch the towering dolerite boulders beside you, you enjoy a deep breath of the fresh air. Thanks to the mighty South Esk River as it carves its way down Cataract Gorge, you are re-invigorated before heading in for a shift at LGH. A positive energy permeates your work as friendly faces herald your arrival. You are reminded of the wonderful human scale of Launceston which makes life and work so rewarding.
The department
A 43 bed unit opened in 2012, with an annual attendance of 45,000, a 30% admission rate and approximately 20% paediatric caseload. As the referral hospital for the entire north of Tasmania our registrars experience high acuity and clinical diversity. The hospital has all major specialties, including a fully supported ICU with ECMO capability and 24-hour cardiac interventional angiography. Consultants provide direct clinical supervision from 8:00am until midnight, seven days a week with an on-call service outside these hours.
Training
As an LGH ED Registrar, you will be immersed in personalised learning opportunities. The members of our FACEM group enthusiastically share their expertise.

We have an ED Special Skill Ultrasound training position, a 6-month anaesthetics rotation and the possibility of ICU and medical speciality rotations.
LGH ED is also accredited with both GP colleges, RACGP and ACRRM, for ED advanced skills placements and offers the ACEM EMD, EMC and EMAD qualifications.
