Our Purpose: Why we do it

When you work with the Canterbury District Health Board, you’re part of something very special. We plan, fund and deliver health services to the almost 600,000 New Zealanders that live in the Canterbury region. Our primary goal is to put people at the heart of everything we do.

The Team: What we do

Canterbury District Health Board is home to an innovative Pain Management Centre at Burwood Hospital working with people who have chronic non-malignant pain, and frequently an array of other factors affecting their wellbeing.

The Pain Management Centre works as an Interdisciplinary Team to help patients reclaim areas of function in their lives that have been lost as a result of chronic pain. The co-ordinated interdisciplinary service provides outpatient clinics and programmes; interventional procedures and occasional inpatient admissions.

We are looking for a permanent full time or part time Specialist Pain Medicine Physician including those with subspecialty experience in Interventional Pain Management (including Neuromodulation) to join us.
