O&G Doctors - 5 great reasons to work with us

,

As an O&G doctor working in a close-knit professional network, you may think that you can rely on job boards and who you know to find your next position. However, there are several reasons why you should think twice before embarking on a solo job hunt.

Prescript Recruitment specialises in connecting you with the best opportunities available. Here are several great reasons to let us help you find your next locum or permanent role:

The power of anonymity. 

Prescript’s ‘explore first, apply later’ method allows you to canvass the market anonymously.  We will find out all the details that you want to know about an opportunity before you decide to make a formal application. In a network as intimate as healthcare, you will want to be discreet about your intentions to move on – particularly where your current employer is concerned.

Take advantage of our large network. 

As medical recruitment specialists, we are perfectly placed to find you opportunities in great places to work across the whole of Australia. You can engage Prescript on a retained assignment where we will tailor the search to find you exactly what you are looking for.

Let us negotiate for you. 

Do you love everything about the job that you just interviewed for but think that your skills and experience justify a higher salary or larger equity share than is on offer? As well as a great daily/hourly rate for your locum work, do you also want holiday-style accommodation for you and the family? Prescript can negotiate all of this with your prospective employer on your behalf.

Outsource your admin. 

There is a lot of admin involved with applying for and starting a new locum or permanent job. Luckily for you, admin is one of our specialties. Helping you write a great CV or tweak your existing CV, applying for additional provider numbers on your behalf (and chasing up with Medicare as needed), helping you with credentialing paperwork, writing your invoices, chasing up your invoices for payment, organising travel arrangements, getting your IT logins set up before you start work – these are just some of the ways that we can help to make your life easier.

The best things in life are free. 

You can engage Prescript to find you job opportunities and it won’t cost you a cent. It is in our best interests to not only find you the best opportunity that we can but also to provide you with an unparalleled level of service that will make you want to use us again in future and refer us on to your colleagues and friends.

Sunshine Soup - A Hearty Bowl of Goodness

,

When winter settles in, we're naturally drawn to foods that are warming, nourishing and bring a cosy feel to our meals - Comfort food. Soup offers infinite possibilities - from the most rustic and hearty, to the ultimate in refined sophistication. They all have their place.

This is a healthy, hearty and nourishing soup that uses orange vegetables for a dose of sunshine coloured goodness. It's delicious, simple to make, easy to reheat, can be frozen and reheated (valuable for an easy meal when time is short).

The proportions can be adjusted to suit - Both for quantity, and for the mix of vegetables selected.

Shades of orange - Simple, healthy ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 leek

3 cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon of ras al hanout (Moroccan spice mix)

50 grams of butter

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

500 grams of pumpkin, peeled and diced

500 grams of orange sweet potato, peeled and diced

250 grams of carrots, roughly chopped

1 bay leaf

1/2 an orange

1 1/2 - 2 litres of water, chicken, meat or vegetable stock

ACCOMPANIMENTS

4 tablespoons of caramelised onion

Coriander leaves to sprinkle

Extra virgin olive oil to drizzle

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

Wash the leek thoroughly and slice finely. Peel and chop the garlic. Melt the butter gently in a large, heavy pan, add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. Put the leeks and garlic into the pan, cook until soft but not browned. Add the ras al-hanout and stir through. Add the vegetables and bay leaf, stir. Pour over the stock or water, squeeze in the juice of the orange.

Simmer until the vegetables have cooked down to a nice, soft consistency. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly, remove bay leaf before blending to a velvet-smooth puree - Season to taste. Bring back up to heat before serving.

TO SERVE

Ladle hot soup into warmed bowls. Spoon over some warm, caramelised onion, scatter some fresh coriander leaves, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.

This is just one serving suggestion - the options are endless. You could try:

- Crumbled blue cheese and fresh thyme

- Toasted nuts and seeds, scattered with some chopped parsley

- Crisp fried bacon and sage leaves

- Spoonful of yoghurt and sprinkle of dukkah

It's a good time of year to enjoy a bit of hibernation and some soul food - And to get out and embrace the chilly weather, knowing you have a warm soup to come home to - or to enjoy at work for an easy, healthy lunch.

Sunshine Coast - Location Report

WHERE

SUNSHINE COAST

Quintessential Sunshine Coast

Located in Queensland and beginning just 100km North of Brisbane, the wonderful Sunshine Coast lives up to its name and offers a whole lot to see and do - including some surprises to uncover! With five distinct regions, the Sunshine Coast has lush hinterland, freshwater rivers and lakes, subtropical forests, farmland and stunning national parks, as well as it's famous, pristine beaches and coastline brimming with opportunities for adventure.

The Sunshine Coast is well known for its 'laid back' vibe and stylish towns, attracting visitors from around the world, as well as a proud, local population. Here, towns are dotted throughout the region to explore, good food is abundant and locally grown. People have a relaxed, friendly attitude and there are endless ways to fill the sunny days in this all-year-around, great climate part of Australia.

Whilst on the Sunshine Coast, definitely spend time in Noosa, the region's best known and very stylish town - but don't miss the chance to explore Coolum, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Caloundra, and the artistic and creative hinterland villages of Maleny, Montville and Mapleton.

NOOSA

Explore Hastings Street - Noosa's main street. It's full of restaurants, bars, boutique shops and galleries.  By day, you will see surfers with their boards alongside smartly dressed shoppers - the contrast being part of the charm.  By night, the street is lit with fairy lights hanging from the trees and the atmosphere feels very Mediterranean with people strolling from open-air bars to the beachside restaurants.

An elegant option for dining in Noosa is Sails Restaurant. Modern Australian cuisine, beach views, great for a special lunch or dinner. 

A relaxed option is the popular Miss Moneypenny's. Enjoy the lovely outside decking area. Serves cocktails and very tasty pizzas.

Noosa Main Beach is right by Hastings Street and is patrolled all year round for swimming safety.  This is a great location to learn how to surf or just to relax on the beach.

For a romantic evening, bring your own bottle of wine and catch a sunset cruise.  Ice bucket and glasses provided, you'll be taken along the river & canals at a leisurely pace. Perfect for taking in the evening light and unique scenery - some of the places you'll see are in fact only accessible by water.

GYMPIE REGION

A surprising contrast to the golden beaches the Sunshine Coast is so famous for, are the charming inland and Hinterland towns of the region. A great example being, Gympie. The 19th century gold mining town is wonderful step back in time. Colonial buildings line the streets and remnants of times gone by are well preserved in the heritage walks and museums. There is plenty more around Gympie, including its own nearby bit of coastline where you can visit Rainbow Beach and Tin Can Bay - famous for dolphin feeding and a great place for sailing.

MARKETS

Of course, in such an abundant region, markets are the place to go for local food and artisan goods. Here are two to get started with!

Only a 20 minute drive away from Noosa, Eumundi Markets are open every Wednesday & Saturday and definitely worth a visit. Their ethos is “we make it, bake it, grow it, sew it”. You'll find individual stalls selling paintings, jewellery, furniture and also great food and local produce.

Caloundra Street Fair, from 8am - 1pm every Sunday, are known as the best street market on the Sunshine Coast. With over 200 stalls to browse and shop from, you won't be short inspiration.

GETTING THERE

It's easy! Sunshine Coast Airport is a 30 minute drive from Noosa and similar distances to other key centres in the region. Regular direct flights from Sydney/Melbourne are available OR you can arrive via Brisbane Airport and enjoy the drive up the coast or inland. There are also plenty of shuttle buses available if you don't wish to drive.

Here is a useful page of information about travel times from the Sunshine Coast Airport, plus good information about flights and connected destinations.

Prescript can help great doctors find great places to work in both locum and permanent positions. Interested in the Sunshine Coast? Call me on +61 405429799 or email nicola@prescript.com.au - I'd love to hear from you.
