Our global resources client is looking to recommence work in Papua New Guinea in October and requires clinicians who are fit, highly skilled, and able to manage a variety of presentations in very remote locations.

These positions will require:

• You to configure, pack and select only the appropriate medical equipment in a backpack then transport the equipment and perform medical duty on steep slopes in a hot and wet climate over great land distances
• Proper physical condition to conduct long term bush walks for several kilometres in uneven and steep terrain in austere conditions
• Qualifications and strong experience in emergency /pre-hospital emergency medicine ideally with wilderness, search and rescue, and/or expedition support experience
