About Jason Ahmad

I’m Jason Ahmad – Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner at Prescript. I have worked in a number of health-related fields; however, medical recruitment has been the most enjoyable. I have more than 20 years of experience in areas such as Pathology, Medical Indemnity and GP Recruitment. This broad knowledge base allows me to understand the challenges faced by those in our field and therefore find solutions that often create enduring positive outcomes.

I am driven professionally by being able to create positive and meaningful health outcomes in rural and regional communities. It is immensely satisfying helping practices and hospitals find the right doctor for their permanent and locum positions, and I pride myself on finding optimal outcomes that balance doctor needs with practice requirements. Every time I make a placement, we are one step closer to solving the regional doctor shortage.

I see many opportunities for growth in the medical industry. I am 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.

Outside of work, I’m personally driven to encourage and support my two sons whose development are my greatest aspiration. Aside from a two-year stay in Melbourne, I have lived my entire life in Adelaide. I enjoy being outdoors when I can, and love a game of pool, and watching the cricket or football; especially at a live match. I have three cats and a dog who are sources of endless comfort and, at times, amusement.

About Mel Houston

Hi, I'm Melissa Houston; I am one of the Senior Recruitment Partners at Prescript Recruitment, working with rural generalists and emergency medicine doctors across metro and regional Australia.

My experience covers over a decade of medical recruitment, specialising in senior doctors and solving the healthcare shortage.

I am an expert in working closely with hospitals, departments, and clinics to fill their critical vacancies. My success has included roster management, executive search projects and in-depth relationship building with locum doctors.

I love to work hard whilst injecting humour and fun into my day-to-day activities. I really enjoy meeting clients and doctors; as it stands, I think I've ticked off 100 hospitals that I have visited, and that is probably only touching the surface. I believe it's integral to matching doctors’ and clients’ needs and helps me better understand doctors' new roles.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter and family. I'm a water baby at heart, so you'll often find me out on our family boat - sailing the beautiful waters of the Mornington Peninsula (where I live!).

Overcoming Doctor Burnout: Could Locum Work Be The Remedy?

Burnout is a common reason why many doctors feel exhausted and disengaged from their medical practice. Even if you are passionate about your work, burnout can lead to a lack of motivation and interest in your profession. As a doctor, it's crucial to avoid burnout as it can have serious consequences if you don't show up for your patients. So, how can you reinvigorate your work life?

One solution is to try locum work, which can help you tailor your work to suit your lifestyle while also expanding your skillset and experience. Locum work allows you to work in a completely different environment from your regular workplace and earn high daily rates. Depending on your aspirations, you might choose to work as a locum for a longer period of time, which could be a month or even a year. Alternatively, you could hop from location to location as a locum doctor to experience new people, places, cultures, and work settings.

5 key Benefits of Locum Opportunities

Whilst there can be challenges with locuming, such as being away from home or being somewhere new, there are many proven perks:

  • Be of Service to the Underserved

Prescript is known for solving the regional doctor shortage in Australia. While everyone needs services from doctors, some people do not get the privilege of receiving medical attention when they need it. There are chronic staffing issues where hospitals rely on locum doctors to keep their services running, and if it wasn’t for locum doctors, a large proportion of the country would be without healthcare. Your contribution makes a significant difference. 

  • Experience Different Locations

Locums are a fantastic way of being able to travel to new, beautiful and unique locations that you may otherwise not have a chance to visit. There is a broad range of locums to suit your needs and preferences. From capital cities to major regional centers and rural communities, there is truly something for everyone.  

  • Enhance Your Skillset

Working in new settings can significantly enhance your skillset as a doctor. Whether you're working in indigenous health settings, correctional facilities, or remote towns, you will gain valuable experience and expand your professional capabilities.

  • Excellent Daily Rates

Locum work often comes with fantastic daily rates, especially in more remote and regional areas. Whether you work as a full-time locum or on an ad hoc basis, you can boost your income while providing communities with the healthcare they need.

  • Overcome Burnout

As mentioned previously, locum work is a great way to overcome burnout. Burnout can make you feel like you've fallen out of love with your career, but it's important to remember that burnout is just a period of exhaustion, and you can overcome it. When you have the freedom to experience different locations and offer services to those in need, you will realise the significance of your medical practice. 

Prescript’s Exclusive Locum Opportunities

Locuming is a fantastic way of enhancing your skillset, experiencing new places and people, and resetting and falling back in love with what you do. By changing your location and daily routine, you can reinvigorate your career and reignite your passion for it.

Take a closer look at our exclusive locum opportunities and the financial, professional, and lifestyle benefits they offer. You can rest assured you will have the opportunity to change your environment, explore, gain diverse professional experiences and enhance your doctor career.

About Jason Ahmad

I’m Jason Ahmad – Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner at Prescript. I have worked in a number of health-related fields; however, medical recruitment has been the most enjoyable. I have more than 20 years of experience in areas such as Pathology, Medical Indemnity and GP Recruitment. This broad knowledge base allows me to understand the challenges faced by those in our field and therefore find solutions that often create enduring positive outcomes.

I am driven professionally by being able to create positive and meaningful health outcomes in rural and regional communities. It is immensely satisfying helping practices and hospitals find the right doctor for their permanent and locum positions, and I pride myself on finding optimal outcomes that balance doctor needs with practice requirements. Every time I make a placement, we are one step closer to solving the regional doctor shortage.

I see many opportunities for growth in the medical industry. I am 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.

Outside of work, I’m personally driven to encourage and support my two sons whose development are my greatest aspiration. Aside from a two-year stay in Melbourne, I have lived my entire life in Adelaide. I enjoy being outdoors when I can, and love a game of pool, and watching the cricket or football; especially at a live match. I have three cats and a dog who are sources of endless comfort and, at times, amusement.

About Nicola Speer

As Prescript's Senior Radiology Recruitment Partner, I’m passionate about offering personally tailored solutions for short-term locum work, teleradiology and longer-term permanent roles for radiologists and healthcare providers across Australia, NZ and globally.

With many years of experience in the medical field, I’m ideally placed to find the best possible outcomes in any given scenario.

Warm, friendly, open conversations are incredibly important to me. I believe that good communication and really listening to the people I engage with is the key to genuine connection, which allows me to help in an authentic way.

Originally from New Zealand, I now live in Sydney and enjoy exploring local spots or hopping on a plane somewhere new to enjoy all the cultural, culinary, and scenic experiences I can. Having travelled extensively and spent some years living in Europe and the UK, I am able to provide an empathetic connection with people from all over the world. 

Wellbeing, creativity, travel, and adventure are personal passions for me, which help in bringing other people's career and lifestyle dreams and plans to life too.
