Hi - I’m Stef McLaughlin, Credentialing Quality and Giving Manager at Prescript. I am responsible for Prescript’s credentialing and quality management processes and our giving relationship with B1G1.
“B1G1 is a social enterprise and non-profit organisation with a mission to create a world full of giving. ”
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 living in poverty in rural Ethiopia.
What Is The Impact?
It can be hard to comprehend what life is like without access to basic rights such as clean water, and what a difference it can make to the health and lives of so many people.
We are delighted to announce that so far our total amount of days provided of access to life-saving clean water is 81,150 days! 👏
The projects we are supporting fund the construction of hand-dug wells in the Ethiopian province of Tigray, as well as training & education in health and sanitation matters, and family planning.
“Without a well, women can spend 3 hours every day, collecting about 20 litres (for her whole family) of polluted water from sources often shared with defecating livestock.”
💧 The provision of clean and hygienic water will reduce a woman’s average daily water collection time.
💧 A well allows girls to receive a proper education instead of spending their time collecting water.
💧 The whole family benefit from having access to clean water - meals can be prepared earlier, improved sanitary practices also mean less illness and fewer missed school days.
“Up to 20% of children under the age of 5 die from water-borne diseases.”
💧 Access to clean water effectively reduces child mortality rate.
💧 And means less illness and fewer missed school days.
A Word From Stef McLaughlin
You’ll be pleased to know we are tracking great with our current goal. It’s incredible being able to see the weekly impacts we are making.
I love how easy it is to work with B1G1 and generally how it makes me feel to know we are collectively making such a difference by simply coming into work.
Working with B1G1 has been the most wonderful experience. We believe that setting a giving goal aligns with Prescript’s values perfectly. It motivates us and helps bring the team together, working towards that BIG goal, and making a BIG impact.
I love this particular project because it has multi-layered impacts. It’s not only about providing clean water to people and the direct health benefits from that - the project also includes training & education in health and sanitation matters as well as family planning. There’s also a direct effect it has on females and bettering their lifestyle and education too.
I can’t wait to keep you all updated on how we are tacking. Thank you for making a difference by choosing to work Prescript.

“Organising paperwork, credentialing and travel logistics can be challenging! My role is to ease the pain and guide all our doctors through the process. Hopefully the hospitals, clinics and doctors I work with feel they are well supported by me and the Prescript team.”
“Prescript are medical recruitment specialists.”
At Prescript we’re known for helping solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia.
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.
We believe that when we get these two crucial things right, it has a huge impact on the regional doctor shortage and the healthcare of communities across Australia.
