Carving out new Careers in NZ The internet has seen some new careers evolve that are presenting interesting opportunities for flexible study and working options. One such career is that of the remote-based medical transcriptionist who transcribes the patient notes that doctors and other medical professionals dictate. Medical transcriptionists need an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, diseases and pharmacology as well as fast and accurate typing skills. Traditionally in NZ, the medical typist has worked in a hospital or specialist doctor setting. But increasingly in NZ, Australia and the US, a significant proportion of this work is outsourced to skilled professionals who work from their own home office. In NZ, district health boards (DHBs) still employ large numbers of transcriptionists in-house. However, most DHBs, also outsource work to medical transcription companies who, in turn, have the work completed by their teams of self-employed transcriptionists who work from their own home offices. The medical transcription industry is growing, with ever increasing demand for more transcription services. An ageing population, who will require more healthcare and therefore more healthcare records as they age, coupled with a shortage of skilled workers in the industry means that there are excellent job opportunities. A key player within the medical transcription industry suggests that the current replacement requirement for workers is around 937 transcriptionists per year in New Zealand. That figure is set to increase since the current workforce is largely made up of people over the age of 55 years (who are likely to retire in the next ten years), and hospitals are dictating 10 – 11% more each LOOKING TO DEVELOP A year due to growth in the numbers of people seeking medical assistance. With a world-wide shortage of medical typists Sue’s Computer Training Co. runs an online training NEW CAREER FROM HOME? programme which will qualify people to become medical transcriptionists. This NZQA accredited (Level Four) on line training programme has been adapted to include New Zealand content so that graduates will be qualified to work in both the New Zealand and US environments. “We If you are: • A good typist • Interested in healthcare have our own facilitators who will help our students achieve the high standards required by the • A good listener • Eager to improve income course material.” When Merrill Kenyon from Te Puna heard about the opportunities in outsourced medical • Competent with MS word transcription, she decided she would retrain herself to be able to work entirely from home in the future - “I love typing and loved working in the medical field previously”. Merrill is now working in international markets. “When you work from home, you have to be Former student, MaryAnn says “The MT training course has changed my organised and disciplined.

A person who wants to “get it right” I had no medical knowledge before but the course notes were easy to understand is the type of person who will make a good transcriptionist”. A number of the district health boards have expressed and the facilitator was very helpful. I made a great career choice. interest in hearing from graduates from the course, I am now employed at home doing a job that I love!” and Shona Trubshawe from Waitemata District Health says almost all hospitals need more transcription staff. “We are keen to see this programme attract a number of good students, because we know it is so hard to find skilled staff. Students can also work COURSE STARTS MAY 2016 in specialist practises, or join the growing offshore opportunities that are available on the internet.” Former student, MaryAnn, says: “The MT training course has changed my life!

A versatile cattle grazing farm and lifestyle block directly opposite one of the busiest boat ramps on the Firth of Thames is for sale. The 143 hectare block is at Waikawau on the Thames Coast road. The property is virtually equi-distant between Thames some 25 kilometres to the south or Coromandel some 30 kilometres to the north. Comprising two titles – both with road-front access to the coast, this expansive and elevated block is divided into six paddocks with post and batten fencing and has the potential to graze 1200-1400 stock units. Water requirements are supplied by the natural feed streams which run throughout the property. Accommodation on the block consists of two three-bedroom bach-style houses – one of 80 sqm and the other of 76 sqm. The block is being marketed for sale at auction on April 21 by Bayleys. Salesperson Karl Davis said the lifestyle block farm and its surroundings were deeply enriched with a colourful past. ‘‘The Waikawau area was first settled by a handful of pioneer families around the era of the famous Coromandel gold rush of the late 1850s.

We’ve still got the warmth and it’s nice to see daylight earlier in the day. I loved seeing all the classic cars and hot rods that were around over Beach Hop, whether they were signed on participants or just taking their pride and joy along and adding to the variety. It’s a great fund raiser and a fun time for everyone. It’s just about time to pull out the extra layer for that comfort feeling; just about! The Coromandel JUST A CLICK AWAY Capture Well almost.
