Prescript is Five Years Old!
It’s good to have the opportunity to pause and reflect sometimes. Birthdays and anniversaries are often traditional times to take stock and look back. March marks five years since Prescript opened its doors as medical recruitment specialists.
We’re known for solving the regional doctor shortage in Australia, leaving doctors loving what they do and regional communities feeling like they have the best doctors in town.
Here are FIVE things that make Prescript stand out:
Team is Everything
Every day the team at Prescript is focused on what we do best - helping regional areas find doctors, filling rosters and providing peace of mind.
We’ve now grown to nine (plus Bonnie and Lukas of course!).
We all care about the work that we do and the impact it has on the regional doctor shortage. These regions are also our communities - our HQ might be in Sydney, but we are spread far and wide. I live in Adelaide, Rebecca lives on the NSW/QLD border, Nadine is based in our Melbourne office and Marcia lives near Bega, NSW.
To stay connected as a team, we get together three times a year to celebrate and acknowledge hard work. We also reflect on how we can provide a better level of service to the doctors, hospitals and practices we partner with.
Above and below are some recent Prescript photos - our planning retreat in the Sydney HQ and our celebratory Christmas catch-up.
We Always Think of the Impact on Patient Care
Every day we’re focused on two clear outcomes - Helping hospitals find doctors that create departments and clinics that run better, have more capacity and less stress. And placing Doctors in jobs that leave them feeling highly valued, rewarded and, most importantly, enjoying what they do.
On occasion, it can be easy to disconnect the recruitment services we provide from patient care. We try and overcome this be visiting as many of the hospitals and clinics as we can - it is only by walking around emergency departments, touring practices, seeing radiology clinics and meeting with medical administration that we realise how crucial recruitment is to their smooth running.
Since 2015 we have visited every State and Territory - been on the tilting train from Bundaberg to Rockhampton; taken a shuttle bus to Noosa; driven to Bunbury and Busselton; bumped around in a 4x4 in the Northern Territory - just some of the adventures to meet Prescript doctors and Prescript clients. Last week, Nadine Onto, was in Launceston and Hobart. This week Rebecca Doyle and Stef McLaughlin were on the Sunshine Coast.
Recruitment Doesn’t Have to be Boring
We are always trying innovative ways to attract doctors to regional areas. Traditional advertising still works, but if you want to persuade doctors to make a sea or tree change then something different is needed to cut through.
Grace Clueit leads our marketing at Prescript, and along with some fantastic external suppliers, has created some memorable campaigns on behalf of our clients.
Here are two examples of recruitment videos for Bendigo and Shepparton.
Doesn’t it make you want to live there?
Importance of Being a Business For Good
At Prescript, we want to make sure our values flow through everything we do. That’s the reason why we decided to set an annual giving goal through our partnership with the Global Giving Business initiative, B1G1.
“Prescript believes that every business has the power to change lives by giving back through its everyday business activities.”
Each time we help a doctor with the next step in their career, we also contribute towards improving health outcomes for people living in poverty overseas.
For 2020 and beyond, our giving goal is to provide 1 million days of access to clean water for families in Ethiopia.
You’re part of making it happen by working with Prescript. Thank you.
Lights! Camera! Action!
