Solution Likely For Hospital Registrar
Christchurch
hospital General Manager Jim Magee is hopeful that a
positive solution will be found to enable surgical registrar
Sophie Bayliss to go to Afghanistan and still retain her job
at the hospital on her return.
The hospital is pursuing a
possible position that would enable a registrar to be
engaged to fill the gap left by Dr Bayliss.
‘We have been
very supportive of Dr Bayliss’ territorial activities and
enabled her to attend her regular training courses.’
Mr
Magee said he would know next week whether another surgical
registrar would be available.
