Working as a rural health practitioner in rural New Zealand

There are many reasons why New Zealand-registered health practitioners choose to work in a rural primary health care practice.

Some have a passion for delivering health care to small communities and the range of varied and interesting clinical work. The rural lifestyle and slower pace of life is appealing to many, as is the opportunity to take a break from the stresses of managing a practice. Working as a rural locum is a wonderful way of discovering remote and beautiful parts of New Zealand. And, if you're taking up a permanent position, you can match where you work with your lifestyle interests.

Whatever your reason for wanting to work in a rural primary health care practice, NZLocums can help.

We can offer New Zealand-registered General Practitioners the following opportunities:

• a short-term change of scenery or a working holiday as a locum
• the opportunity to get away from the stresses of managing a practice and become a 'roving' locum
• long-term locum work
• permanent placements.

We can also assist with long-term or permanent placements for nurse practitioners.
