Introducing the remarkable Dr Shahab Siddique, an experienced Rural Generalist who partnered with Prescript to discover extraordinary regional and rural GP locum opportunities.

Excited to delve into the depths of Australia's vibrant history, with a particular fascination for ancient Aboriginal heritage and rare wildlife encounters, Dr Siddique sought opportunities that would grant him the chance to explore and connect with the country's rich cultural tapestry.

Dr Siddique’s Requirements and Prescript's Tailored Search:

Max Drakeley (Prescript’s Senior Recruitment Partner for GPs) has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in helping GPs find their ideal opportunities. He jumped at the opportunity to design a tailored search for Dr Siddique that would best suit his clinical & lifestyle needs and preferences.

Max was able to connect him with exciting new positions at various health services, allowing him to try different locations and decide where to be based for his next experience.

Max suggested the spectacular Kimberleys, which provided Shahab with the opportunity to work in a stunning location with high daily rates and plenty of scope for adventure. The Kimberleys were also in great need of locums, making it a perfect place for Dr Siddique to make a significant difference in rural communities.

The Kimberleys: An Ideal Opportunity for Dr Siddique:

Dr Siddique embraced the opportunity, providing vital medical services across Western Australia and supporting various health services in the Pilbara and the Kimberleys. He quickly fell in love with the Kimberleys; his presence was highly appreciated by health services, and he received a very warm welcome from the local community.

For Dr Siddique, the Kimberleys was a perfect fit, offering a plethora of possibilities for his family to enjoy. His wife and children loved the area's stunning landscapes, friendly locals, and the chance to explore new locations.

During his time off, Dr Siddique and his family enjoyed a range of activities, from swimming in crystal clear waters to hiking through stunning national parks. They discovered must-see locations, including the breathtaking Cable Beach and the world-famous Horizontal Falls.

We were delighted to receive these images from Dr Siddique, capturing his experiences:

Dr Siddique’s work in the Kimberleys made a significant difference, earning him repeated requests from health services in the area. He has become an integral part of the community, making a positive impact both professionally and personally.

Dr Siddique said, "I was faced with many challenges (including medical skills as well as logistically) which I was able to come out on top due to my experience in regional Australia as a locum, as well as through support of people like Max and Marcia."

When asked about why he liked the Kimberleys and if there were any particular highlights or benefits, Dr Shahab shared:

"The landscape of the WA coast is remarkable, the people are honest and genuine. We have made lifelong friends during our time in regional Australia."

He added, "Exceptional services are available in many regions of Australia. There are some areas that could do with more, but in general, the healthcare is incredible with highly skilled and passionate hospital staff."

 At Prescript, we are proud to have played a role in connecting Dr Siddique with a location that suits his needs perfectly. We wish him and his family continued success and many more unforgettable experiences in the beautiful Kimberleys and beyond!
