How easy is it for clinicians to get leave

RMO

We try and accommodate all leave requests we can across all levels. However this does depend on a number of factors. Most importantly are staffing levels. Currently the CCDHB is experiencing high staffing levels so leave requests can be approved.

Wellington is a large secondary and tertiary hospital with a clinical school from the University of Otago attached.

A multi-million dollar Wellington Regional Hospital has just been opened in March of this year. The development ensures world class medical professionals will be matched by state of the art facilities.

The development provides a unique opportunity to develop new and innovative models of care and to improve the access to services. It also includes an integrated teaching hospital.

Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand / Aotearoa. It is also the cultural, administrative and political centre of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the sprawling harbour and the dramatic, hilly terrain. Everywhere you go, the sounds and smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear-hug embrace.

At night, Wellington offers up a spectacular, shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for the hundredth time, it takes one's breath away.
Wellington is a vibrant, scenic, windy, cosmopolitan, diverse, eccentric, maddening and hilarious place. It has the some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants, microbreweries, and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation's historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being the first place European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
