#UniteAgainstCovid19
We must unite against COVID-19 and ensure the health systems of New Zealand and Australia have the resources they need.
We’re on a mission to mobilise the medical community.
Medworld has responded to the call to arms for our country, we've partnered with MedRecruit and Tonix Health Recruitment to establish a community of doctors and nurses that are able and willing to help.
As a medical community, the only way to fight this is together.
How will we unite?
We’re anticipating an increase in demand for doctors and nurses in hospitals, clinics, pop-up fever clinics and virtual health solutions. We are working with government bodies in New Zealand and Australia to build a community of doctors ready to step up when needed – you might not be needed right away, but we believe it is better to be prepared before demand rises, not afterwards.
If you’re in New Zealand or Australia and are:
- a registered doctor, or
- a doctor that is not currently registered or practising, or
- a doctor retired in the last 3 years,
we invite you to register your interest now.
We’ll work with our accredited partners, medical recruitment experts MedRecruit, to match you to roles that need to be filled.
