I believe for you to partner with the right medical recruitment agency, that reflects your wishes and lifestyle choices, is so important. Prescript’s focus is on what matters most to you, whatever stage of your career, your location or your future plans.
 

Every day the team at Prescript help doctors take the next step in their career and assist regional hospitals and practices across Australia with their long-term (permanent) and short-term (locum) vacancies.

We’re known for making for regional communities feel like they have the best doctors in town.

I’ve chosen Australia as my home and I’ve loved getting to know different places - from small towns to larger cities - and exploring the challenges that their health services face. Since 2007 I’ve helped hundreds of doctors relocate from interstate or abroad to help regional Australia move towards being fully staffed with doctors.

The struggles that remote communities face in receiving consistent high-quality healthcare are widely talked about. I’ve travelled to the NT and seen for myself the remote Aboriginal communities that lack healthcare provision. What might surprise you though is that the problem is also much closer to home. Even a short distance outside of our capital cities, the doctor shortage is very real. The point is that this is not just an issue just for those living outside of Sydney or Melbourne, it’s a problem for all of us when we travel across Australia to enjoy regional holidays or visit family and friends.


Want to find out more about me and my role? Watch ⬇️ my Prescript colleagues share their thoughts!.

From meeting with doctors, hospitals and practices, Prescript understands that there are three key challenges to the regional doctor shortage:

  1. Hospitals and doctors don’t have the time to add finding a new position or recruiting to their daily tasks.

  2. They struggle to identify the best position or attract the best applicants.

  3. They know that promoting themselves or a vacancy so that it is engaging and relevant takes time, yet they want immediate results.

To tackle these problems head-on, we have three solutions:

  1. Firstly, we use Prescript's 7-Step recruitment framework on behalf of the hospital, practice or doctor - putting the job or candidate search to the top of our to-do list and off theirs.

  2. Secondly, Prescript's locum management service can provide a more immediate solution for uncertain or busy times. Maybe you're between jobs and want to keep your options open. Or perhaps you need a high-quality locum doctor to maintain patient care while you recruit the best person for the job.

  3. And finally, we offer bespoke retained projects and tailored job searches rather than a "one size fits all" approach.

We believe that regional Australian hospitals and practices should be fully staffed with doctors so that communities have the healthcare they deserve. Everything we do is with that in mind.

We are committed to helping solve the problem of attracting doctors and get an immense amount of satisfaction from seeing the end result - departments and clinics that run better, have more capacity, improved morale and less stress. We also strive to place doctors where they’ll feel valued and really enjoy what they do.

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.
