About The Opportunity

Where You'll Be Working
Liverpool Hospital is a tertiary referral and trauma centre in the South-West of Sydney with an annual census of 90,000 patients. Liverpool is the busiest Emergency department in NSW with an interesting and challenging case mix of adult and paediatric patients and an admission rate of more than 40%. Emergency Physicians provide extended hours cover over 7 days a week with excellent opportunities for supervised training in a challenging and busy department.
Liverpool hospital is fully accredited for advanced training by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM). It has a wide opportunity for educational exposure, with over 70 emergency trainees and 110 JMOs coming to Liverpool Emergency annually.
