Dear friends
Due to current policies in UK, you may wish to share this info with others for their exploration.

For trainees who are interested and PLAB doctors who are exploring other avenues

BMG Associates (the Australian arm of Reed Health Group) and the Queensland Government of Australia invite you to attend information sessions regarding medical employment opportunities in Queensland, Australia.

Queensland is seeking to employ;

• Specialists / Senior Medical Officers
• Registrars / Principal House Officers and Senior House Officers with at least 12 months UK experience.

The leader of the State Government of Queensland, Premier Peter Beattie, has personally committed a “senior level delegation” from Queensland Health, the state’s Department of Health, to attend these events.

This delegation will have information about current and future (the next 12-18 months) vacancies in Queensland’s public hospital system.

Information will also be available on living and working conditions in Queensland, including family support services and assistance, leisure activities and relocation assistance.

These events will provide a rare opportunity for doctors, who are considering a move to Australia, to meet the real decision makers.

Details of events are as follows:

• Saturday 13/05/2006 at 18:00 – 19:30
Central Dublin – Cocktails and information

If you or a colleague would consider attending these events, please contact us at the earliest opportunity, at queensland@bmgassociates.com.au or on UK free call 0800 032 8389.

Once you have expressed an interest, we will provide a personal invitation with final details for your consideration.

Your attendance at these sessions is obligation-free.

However, we guarantee access to senior decision makers and an opportunity to hear how a career move to Queensland, Australia can be a sound investment in your future.
