Prescript specialises in working with psychiatrists to help you organise locums that fit in with your available time. We make sure each locum is a great match for your location preferences and clinical scope.
Here’s a quick, step by step guide that answers some questions about how to plan and book in locums that work for you.
No. 1 - Call or email us – we are connected with a vast nationwide network of psychiatry providers who engage us to find the best locum doctors for their needs.
No.2 - When you speak with the team, we will ask you for any specifics you have already have in mind – This may be dates you are free or locations you prefer.
No.3 - Next step is to go over options based on your preferences – it’s quick and easy. We then get your preferences together to check over and decide on.
No.4 - Once booked, you will get a Locum Booking Confirmation email with the overview attached, so it’s all nice and clear.
No.5 - Prescript’s Credentialing Team (Stef McLaughlin, Lee Kabigting and Marcia Beere) then organise the travel bookings with you and any paperwork that is required.
No.6 - We will keep in close touch and always call and check-in to see how you’re getting along on your locum and make sure everything’s great!
Why do we have this process in place?
To make it easy and reliable for you – We want you to feel relaxed and confident with your locum bookings and enjoy the planning and booking – and of course the locum itself.
Locations
Let us know if you have preferences – This may vary over time as well, and we can fit in with your wishes.
Some psychiatrists like to try a new location every time they locum; others prefer to return to the same favourite site time after time. It’s entirely up to you.
We have locums coming up for 2021 that we’re booking in now, so this is the time to give us a call and make some enquiries and plans.
Here’s a snapshot:
NSW – Regional and city
QLD – Coastal and inland as well as Brisbane and other cities
TAS – Beautiful options in Hobart and Launceston & surrounds
WA – Perth and options across the state
NT – Tropical Darwin – A great place to locum, central city
