The Opportunity
Exciting opportunities available for non-training Obstetrics and Gynaecology Registrar?
MidCentral District provides an excellent grounding for Obstetrics and Gynaecology Registrars looking to grow and develop their skills.

This has led to a decreased caesarean section rate.
In addition, there are a range of gynaecological surgeries undertaken and opportunities for both Gynaecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinics.
