Virtual Telehealth General Practitioner

Take your GP career beyond the clinic walls. Enjoy remote working, clinical variety and greater flexibility.

• Remote Working Within NZ + Flexible Virtual Practice.
• Employee Benefits + Professional Development Support.
• Four Taranaki Clinics + Face-to-Face Referral Pathways.

Fred Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Coastal Medical to connect an experienced General Practitioner with an innovative team that genuinely values its people, its communities and the care it provides.

A different way to practise

At Coastal Medical, you'll have the opportunity to deliver high-quality primary healthcare through virtual consultations, without being tied to a physical clinic.

Working remotely within New Zealand, you'll assess and manage a range of acute presentations and long-term conditions, provide treatment and prescribing, and coordinate appropriate referrals and follow-up.

Enjoy the flexibility of virtual practice, backed by a connected network of four Coastal Medical clinics. When patients need face-to-face care, you can refer them to a GP at any of the four locations, ensuring continuity and access to in-person support.

You'll also work closely with Coastal Medical's wider clinical teams, with opportunities to collaborate, share clinical knowledge and contribute to a connected approach to patient care.

What you'll be doing

• Providing safe, patient-centred virtual consultations and clinical assessments.
• Managing appropriate acute presentations and long-term conditions.
• Prescribing safely and coordinating investigations, treatment and referrals.
• Recognising when patients require face-to-face assessment or urgent care.
• Reviewing results, referrals and allocated inbox tasks, ensuring timely follow-up.
• Maintaining accurate clinical records and providing clear advice and safety-netting.
• Working collaboratively with clinic teams and external healthcare providers.
• Contributing to clinical quality, peer review and ongoing professional development.

A connected, multidisciplinary team

Coastal Medical brings together GPs, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Associates, nurses, pharmacists, Emergency Care Practitioners and wider clinical and administrative support teams.

Although you'll be working remotely, you'll remain connected to an established clinical network, with access to colleagues across all four Taranaki clinics.

The focus is on delivering integrated care, supporting patients to access the right services and ensuring virtual consultations are backed by appropriate clinical pathways and face-to-face support when needed.
