🌏 From the NHS to Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand
We love seeing our doctors settle into roles where they can grow and feel supported.
This resident doctor recently made the move to Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and shared this feedback after starting their new role:
"Everything is going really well. Things are way more straightforward than in the NHS - thank God!
The weather here is amazing, and every corner of the country we’ve seen so far has been stunning. Some people say New Zealand is like the Scottish Highlands in the Pacific, and it makes total sense. What an amazing place!
The locals have been genuinely welcoming, and this exceeded our highest expectations. We’ve already been invited to dinner at a local home, which never happened in England.
The hospital induction was incredibly thoughtful and the best I’ve ever had.
Moving here has been the best decision. Thank you so much for the support in finding this job - I hope you continue helping others make this move.”
Hawke’s Bay offers not just excellent career opportunities for resident doctors, but a lifestyle that’s hard to beat - welcoming communities, supportive teams and some of the best weather in New Zealand.
Helping doctors take the next step in their careers and supporting them through medical registration, visas and relocation - is exactly what we’re here for.
If you’re a resident doctor considering New Zealand, Hawke’s Bay offers a great work–life balance, supportive teams and an incredible lifestyle.
