Welcome Jason Ahmad | Senior Recruitment Partner for Radiologists

We are delighted to welcome Jason Ahmad to the Prescript Recruitment team! Jason is our Senior Recruitment Partner for Radiologists - permanent and locum. 

Before joining our team, Jason has spent many years working with clinicians and across a number of sectors, including pathology, hospitals, medical indemnity, and medical recruitment.

Jason is driven professionally by being able to create positive and meaningful health outcomes in rural and regional communities.

“I’m hoping to positively impact regional communities by placing appropriately qualified doctors into areas where there is a significant need.”

Jason sees many opportunities for growth in the medical industry. He is particularly interested in seeing the barriers faced by International Medical Graduates lowered to facilitate their registration with the Australian Medical Board. 

“As a cohort, they offer a very real solution to the enduring rural workforce shortage. I feel as a country we have the resources and technology to do this without compromising patient safety.”

When we asked Jason about the contribution he would like to make in his role, his response was in line with his motivations:

“Every time Prescript places a doctor in a regional area, whether it be permanently or for just a few days, there are tangible positive impacts that ripple out into the community that benefits the health service, the doctor and the communities they serve. Being a part of this process is amazing.”

Outside of work, Jason is personally driven to encourage and support his two sons whose development is his greatest aspiration. We also hear he likes a game of pool from time to time amidst his family commitments. 

HOW TO CONTACT JASON:

Jason is based in Adelaide, South Australia. If you are in the city and would like to grab a coffee, get in touch with him!

New FRANZCR & Radiology Registrars – Next Career Steps – Locum, Permanent & Teleradiology

Prescript is keen to get in touch with new FRANZCR doctors and also radiology registrars who are due to become FRANZCR in the next 12 months or so.

We specialise in speaking with radiologists early in their careers as fellows, and registrars, to help understand their career wishes and then helping them set up the next steps to give them a secure, exciting head start in the direction they’ve worked so hard to go in.

➞ Here are some examples of how we work with radiology registrars:

LOCUM days/weeks

Whether this is for week blocks, months at a time or just odd days. Locums give a great chance to experience different sites and types of roles, as well as explore new locations, whether that be metro/city, country, local or interstate.

Locum weeks available across Australia - Examples:

• Darwin and NT locations

• Sydney and NSW locations

• Brisbane and QLD locations

• Melbourne and VIC locations

• Hobart and TAS locations

• Perth and WA locations

It’s also a great way to earn extra money with rates in most sites at $3500 per day + GST.

★Example – Radiology registrars are often heading off overseas to do a fellowship, or staying in Australia for this. We often help bridge the gap with some great locum work that is tailored to the individual doctor.

Permanent Radiologist Roles

After many years of training, it’s an exciting time to be moving into a permanent role in your radiology career.

Our Senior Recruitment Partner, Nicola Speer, will provide a personalised, consultative experience where registrars can talk confidentially and openly about their ideas and work/career plans and goals, and receive expert, tailored solutions and options on where and how these can be made a reality.

★Example – Some radiology registrars like to have a mix of public and private work. Others are focused on sub-specialty interests such as MKS, MRI, breast, MR, IR, neurointerventional etc – We know how to access these exact scenarios and can set up full-time or part-time employment to suit, as well as ensure you’re getting the best remuneration package and support from your new employer.

Teleradiology

Prescript also specialises in setting up teleradiology work, and for new FRANZCR doctors who are either heading off overseas for a fellowship OR staying in Australia/NZ but want to have some extra work set up that is conveniently aligned to other commitments.

The income, career experience, and freedom that teleradiology offers are of great interest to new and experienced radiologists, and for good reason!

★Example – Maybe you’re heading off to New York, Canada, or London to take up an exciting fellowship to add to your training. You can be all set up with remote reporting for Australia/NZ either before you leave or whilst you’re over there. (But we’d recommend getting it all done before if you can, just so it’s ready to go once you leave.)

You can work on a casual basis, or even permanently/part-time – we set it up to suit YOU! 

What To Do Next?

We encourage all radiologists who now have FRANZCR, and radiology registrars to call, email, or fill in the below inquiry link so that you can have an easy, informal chat with Nicola Speer.

We’ve helped hundreds of radiologists kick-start their careers - we’re there right through the stages, job progressions, holiday locums, and steps along the way.

➞PASS IT ON – If you know radiology registrars or those early in their FRANZCR career stages, please pass this on and share our details. We’re here to help and support radiologists and the radiology industry to have happy, fulfilled outcomes for all.

What Do Radiologists Earn In Australia?

“Hi, I’m Nicola Speer - Prescript’s Senior Recruitment Partner for Radiologists.”

Let’s talk money!

Whilst it’s not the only consideration when contemplating locum or permanent work, it’s a subject that we think should be open, transparent and easy to communicate about. So many radiologists ask us for remuneration discussions, and this is absolutely something we like to offer so that you can feel informed and clear.

Here’s Prescript’s overview of both permanent job salaries and how they are packaged – Plus information on locum daily rates.

Locum Radiologist Positions

What can you expect to be paid?

Generally, you will be on a daily rate – This mainly ranges from $3000 - $3500 + GST, and up to $4000 per day offered where there is a particularly urgent or difficult to cover vacancy or where a high-level, specialist skill-set is required. Locums are usually Monday to Friday roles with no weekend or on-call requirements. If there is an option for weekends or on-call, this will be clearly offered.

There are also specific locums that offer $4000 + GST per day with additional payment for on-call requirements and weekend work. These are generally high-end, Tier B interventional roles.

For all locum roles available, we will talk you through the expectations and provide you with all relevant information prior to booking so that you are 100% happy and confident.

What are the inclusions?

Here’s a quick summary of what will typically be included in your locum.

The planning, logistics, credentialing and bookings will be managed with you by Prescript’s Credentialing Team, Stef McLaughlin and Marcia Beere. Their focus is to make locums easy, stress-free and time-efficient for you.

✓ Return economy flights for the radiologist - If required, dependent on location.

✓ Self-contained accommodation provided, we aim to secure the best, most enjoyable stay available. We also like to know if you are taking a partner/family with you so that we can find a suitable scenario and update on any nightly caps to be taken into account.

✓ Car hire provided OR your own car reimbursed at the ATO per km rate.

Note: We will inform you if medical indemnity insurance is provided or if you will need to provide your own (most commonly the case).

How will you be paid?

Fortunately, we have our fantastic Prescript Finance Manager, Hugo Scales, who has the wonderful quality of bringing a personal touch to the financial side of things. Hugo makes it simple and easy and ensures you’re paid promptly after your locum has finished.

Most of our locums are paid via invoice and their own business structure, often a PTY Ltd company – This is something Hugo is on hand to discuss to make sure that you have the best business structure in place, and that you are paid in the most suitable way for your personal circumstances.

Next steps to securing a locum

The first step is to give our Prescript Recruitment Partner (Nicola Speer) a call or email. I will listen to your needs and interests, look at your available dates and location preferences and align these with your clinical skill set so that you can opt-in to the best locums for you.

Permanent Radiologist Positions

How can you best navigate your way into a new permanent role? What are some of the key factors in making your decision? Here’s some information that we hope will help:

How much can you earn?

Great question! This is where we consult, discuss and negotiate the very best package to suit your wishes and also align with your prospective employer’s structure.

Across Australia, remuneration models within both the public and private sectors vary tremendously. For example, it may be a straight salary model; or a salary plus bonus structure. Others have a base salary and percentage of billings – or combinations of these, plus sometimes the option to buy into the business with equity or shares.

This may at first seem somewhat challenging to navigate. With this in mind, our approach at Prescript is to listen to your particular requirements, discuss and analyse the various options with you to find and secure your perfectly aligned role.

For those looking for a role as a newly qualified FRANZCR, we specialise in this. We also work with radiologists requiring a DWS or AON role, as well as established FRANZCR radiologists from across Australia, NZ and globally.

As well as remuneration, these discussions will include other important factors such as lifestyle, location, promotion and career development prospects, options for equity and anything else that’s pertinent to your individual scenario.

Please reach out and have a chat!

Remuneration Options.

Here’s a quick overview of some possible remuneration options you may be offered:

✓ Daily rate models (similar to a long term locum) – Approximately $3000 - $3500 per day

✓ Salary – Range can be as broad as approximately $550k pa - $750k+ - Potentially with percentage or performance bonus attached

✓ Percentage of billings model – with or without base salary – Approximately 18-22%

Total annual income, depending on all these factors, can be from $500 - $700k - $800k – $900k - $1,000,000k+

*PLEASE NOTE: If part-time work appeals, this is often a feasible option – Please do ask us. (e.g. 1-4 days per week)

Note on Public Hospital Roles.

The public hospital paid roles, or “Staff Specialists” are governed by a state health award, and the salary packages are usually significantly lower than in private sector sites. 

Remuneration packages in public hospital paid jobs can range from about $250k (e.g. NSW Health Staff Specialist, Year 1) to about $500k (in WA, QLD or SA) - depending on location, seniority and experience. Different states have different awards – We can go over this with you.

Sometimes, the option of a split public/private mix role is a good scenario for some radiologists.

Location.

This plays a big part – Regional areas sometimes offer a more generous package than some of the city locations that traditionally have less trouble attracting radiologists to permanent roles.

State by state remuneration can vary, but generally, it’s more closely related to the particular employer and region.

Prescript has roles throughout Australia’s capital cities, large/medium/small centres, towns/cities, regional, coastal and inland locations – It’s great to have all the options!

Did you know? Many opportunities are not advertised, others are, but the actual nuances and flexible options that can be tailored are not always apparent. It’s so worthwhile to have a chat, find out more so you’ll be informed and able to decide you decide on a permanent move, locums or teleradiology.

Key Criteria

Below is an overview to give you a starting point for planning your questions and clarifying your priorities.

What key criteria really matter to you when taking a new permanent role?

Contemplating a move to a new job doesn’t need to be stressful or full of unknowns. Here are some points we will discuss with you in a consultative, open process to help you clarify your priorities, and help us narrow down the best step forward into a new position.

Clinical fit ➝ Does the role match your skills/modalities and your career goals?

Workload and conditions ➝ What is the expectation? How flexible is the opportunity for part-time options or for your particular style of working?

Location ➝ Do the locations match up to be a great place for you to live and work?

Community and facilities ➝ Is this a community that you can really enjoy and that fits the needs of you and your family? (Ask us about schools, community and cultural groups, sports and recreation and leisure activities too.)

Start date ➝ Is there flexibility on when you can start? Will you be supported in the move here? (NOTE – Always check your notice period for your current role and any restrictions in your contract and let us know this too)

Long term prospects➝ Is this role secure? Is there growth opportunity?

Money ➝ Let’s talk openly about remuneration structure and realistic, bottom-line earnings that you can expect. How can we help tailor this to your preferences too?

“We hope this gives you a good starting point and some key information about the way the locum and permanent job-seeking process works and how we can work with you to support your work wishes.”

We build long term, trusted relationships with doctors and radiology providers. It’s always the number one goal to offer the best possible outcomes based on your wishes.

So, let’s talk! Locums? Permanent role? Teleradiology? – Call or email anytime.

I’m here to listen to and help you with information and the best positions for your personal scenario. (*Discussions are confidential so you can rest assured of your privacy when making contact.)

Benefits For Doctors Working In Regional And Remote Australia

“I’m Rebecca Doyle - Prescript’s Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner. My focus is on helping radiologists find locum and permanent positions across Australia, New Zealand and globally.”

There are many good reasons for doctors to work in regional and remote Australia, and it is not just because it is beneficial for patients and health services. Whether you are doing a short-term locum or making a permanent move, it is hugely rewarding and beneficial for the doctors going to these locations too.

Here are just some great benefits of doctors working in regional and remote Australia.

Impact On Communities

✓ Positive impact

Probably the first thing that comes to mind is the positive impact a doctor can make by working at a regional or remote health service. 

✓ Make a huge difference

Often these health services can go for months, or even years, without a permanent doctor, which affects not only the patients and their families & friends but the staff in the health service or clinic they are working in too. 

✓ Contribution of medical expertise

The contribution of medical expertise in under-resourced health services is often received with much gratitude. It is often very rewarding for those doctors who can work there as they can see the huge difference they are making to many people's lives.

Professional Life

✓ Complex and interesting cases

Often in regional and remote locations, doctors can treat more complex and interesting cases.  It is very normal to have a greater variety of health issues to attend to, than what a city doctor may see where patients have easy access to sub-specialist services. 

✓ Form long-term relationships

Whether you are in a permanent role or returning to a regular locum role, you'll have the opportunity to form long-term relationships and provide trusted care to your patients. This continuity of care is a very rewarding part of the job.

✓ Feel welcomed and supported

The medical community in a rural or regional location is also usually very inclusive. You are welcomed and supported in a way that is not as common in a structured and hierarchical urban health service.

✓ Experience a social atmosphere

It can be very social too with many extracurricular activities such as sports teams or nights out commonly being organised amongst health staff.   

✓ Higher salary/locum rates

With regional and remote medical positions usually paid higher than a city salary or locum rate, it's the cherry on the top of what is already a very fulfilling role.   

Personal Life

There are many positive reasons why a regional or remote lifestyle is good for one's soul. 

✓ Relationships

The first thing you'll likely notice if coming from an urban environment is what those living regionally already know. You'll find friendly and supportive locals who are happy to welcome you in and tell you everything you need to know, all whilst enjoying a much more relaxed pace of living. 

People are quick to help each other out and will often get involved with volunteering in different community events and organisations. It's often so much easier to meet people and form long-lasting relationships.

✓ Wellness

Everything just feels easy. There are no long commute or traffic jams, and instead, you can spend your mornings walking your kids to school, reading the paper at a café or getting down to the ocean for a morning dip. 

Being able to take the time to enjoy the mornings, hearing the birds sing and smelling the fresh air each day has a powerful effect on your sense of wellbeing and freedom.

✓ Nature

A lot of regional and remote locations have plenty of natural beauty on the doorstep to discover. Whether it's visiting stunning national parks, camping under the millions of stars in a country location or enjoying the delights of a pristine and uncrowded beach, there's so much to do to keep your weekends packed with enjoyable and enriching experiences.

✓ Family Life

Life in a regional location also mixes exceptionally well with family life due to the close-knit community and the slower pace of living that allows you to spend that precious time with those closest to you.  

✓ Affordability

It's well known that real estate in regional and remote locations is much more affordable than in the cities, so not only will you be able to enjoy a fantastic quality of life, but you'll get to afford the house of your dreams to live in. 

Want To Know More?

Prescript is passionate about helping to solve the regional doctor shortage and has a great range of locum and permanent opportunities to choose from.

With the varied and interesting cases you'll see, the relationships you'll form, and the fantastic lifestyle and positive impact on the community you'll experience, this means you will have a true understanding of the rewards of working as a doctor in regional and remote Australia.

Talk to Prescript to see how you can make a difference to not only your life but the lives of many others.

Doctors - How To Take The Headache Out Of Paperwork

Paperwork! For most people, form filling is not high on their enjoyment list. Neither is trying to navigate the various requirements across different States and health services. That’s where we come in.

“At Prescript, our aim is to ensure the highest standards with credentialing, customer service and recruitment processes are adhered to. I want to make life easier for the doctors and clients that we work with.”

Any doctor who has worked in more than two locations (and that’s most doctors) will agree that it can be such a pain completing various documents, online checks and making sure everything is still valid in the process. I often have conversations with our doctors about these differing requirements, and I know it is a cause for great frustration.

However, there is some credentialing paperwork that is broadly required across most health services. Because of this, we have created our own checklist - Prescript Quality Standards (PQS).

PQS has three main benefits:

➝ Hospitals, clinics and practices can have peace of mind that each Prescript doctor has met a consistent level of background checks.

➝  Doctors can rely on PQS to help their applications stand out, plus minimise paperwork duplication.

➝   Internally, we use PQS to judge when a doctor is ‘job ready’ - only doctors who have met the Prescript Quality Standards can start in a new position.

“Because all of our clients have their own different, yet overlapping, credentialing, we thought it essential that we can rely on our own foundation of standards.”

What is part of our PQS checklist?

✓ PQS Prescript Interview Report - with one of our medical recruitment partners

✓ PQS Registered with Prescript as a candidate

✓ PQS Answered disclosure questions

✓ PQS Medical Board Registration checked

✓ PQS Shared a copy of driving licence and passport

✓ PQS Provided proof of qualifications - Primary Degree and Fellowship

✓ PQS CV updated for recent work history

✓ PQS Right to work checked (citizenship and visas)

✓ PQS Google keyword search

“Paperwork, credentialing and travel logistics can sometimes be such a headache! 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.
