Meet the team
Our role is to recruit, roster and retain resident medical officers
(RMOs) at Waikato Hospital. We coordinate the Year 1 house officer
selection working within the ACE process, and we also coordinate house
officer, senior house officer and registrar recruitment.
We aim to provide a friendly, accessible unit where you can call in
for a chat or with questions and queries. Our 'open door' approach means
you can find support and guidance on a variety of issues from your run
allocations and terms of employment to meal chits and leave forms.
The current team consists of an RMO Unit manager (Paul Miller), two
RMO administrators (Ripeka Harrison and Sally Clark) and a medical
recruitment coordinator (Penny Simpson).
It's a busy environment at a large, complex hospital - but we will
find the time and space to get to know you, help you and make you feel
at home.
We are responsible for:
- house officer orientation
- rosters (surgical house officers, O&G SHO rosters, and the medicine rosters for house officers and registrars)
- checking practising Certificates and, in conjunction with the MCNZ, registration status
- house officer run allocations
- managing the surgical (HOs only) and medical relief pools (HOs and registrars)
- maintaining a central repository of all RMO run descriptions
- administration duties such as meal 'chits', leave forms claim
forms and ensuring MCNZ supervision forms (where required) are submitted
on time.
