PRS - Filling Critical Health Service Positions

PRS Blog.png

Prescript Recruitment's mission is to help regional hospitals and practices across Australia find doctors for their permanent and fixed-term positions.

Prescript’s Retained Solution (PRS) is our headhunting service for critical, time-sensitive, niche skill-set or multiple-hire roles. PRS is a robust search methodology supported by creative advertising and promotion.

We love to spotlight a regional town or city and help doctors imagine a new life there without compromising career growth.

As well as the targeted executive-style search, our recruitment specialists are supported by Prescript's marketing partner to ensure each vacancy reaches a wide audience.

“We are committed to working with a health service until the position is filled.”

When Is PRS necessary?

Prescript’s Retained Solution (PRS) is necessary if the role is:

➜ Multiple positions

➜ Remote or rural location

➜ Senior position

➜ Niche skill-set

➜ Health service is having offers declined

➜ Lack of quality applications

➜ Lack of quantity of applications

➜ Poor service from current suppliers

How Does PRS Work?

★ PRS is a deposit led solution.

★ Rigorous methodology

★ It is our headhunting service, with Prescript acting as an internal recruitment team.

★ A financial commitment from a health service enables Prescript to apply a robust search process. Similar to an executive search. 

★ Importantly, it commits Prescript to work with a health service until the position is filled.

★ PRS is an exhaustive search of the market.

★ Prescript systematically targets every relevant individual across similar health services.

Canberra is often overlooked by visitors to Australia in favour of Sydney and Melbourne, but it is truly a great location to live and visit. Canberra is a breath of fresh air (quite literally). The planned design in a rural setting makes it the perfect combination of the city and the great outdoors.

“Lonely Planet recently named our beloved capital as the third best city to visit in the world! Canberra is finally soaking up the spotlight it deserves, and you can bet that we’re proud as punch to be Canberran right now.”
— Lonely Planet 2018

Why Join Prescript

Team is Everything

We all care about the work that we do and the impact it has on the regional doctor shortage. These regions are also our communities - our HQ might be in Sydney, but we are spread far and wide.

To stay connected as a team, we get together three times a year to celebrate and acknowledge hard work. We also reflect on how we can provide a better level of service to the doctors, hospitals and practices we partner with.

Last week, the whole Prescript team was in Adelaide! It was a chance to have fun, reflect on the past year and plan for our future.

Since 2015 we have visited every State and Territory - been on the tilting train from Bundaberg to Rockhampton; taken a shuttle bus to Noosa; driven to Bunbury and Busselton; bumped around in a 4x4 in the Northern Territory - we can’t wait to have more adventures across regional Australia!

Importance of Being a Business For Good

At Prescript, we want to make sure our values flow through everything we do. That’s the reason why we decided to set an annual giving goal through our partnership with the Global Giving Business initiative, B1G1. Each time we help a doctor with the next step in their career, we also contribute towards improving health outcomes for people living in poverty overseas.

The Impact You’ll Have

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.

You might be surprised to learn that doctor shortages exist much closer to home, not just in rural and remote communities. For example, just beyond our capital cities, there are chronic staffing issues where hospitals rely on locum doctors to keep their services running. We're not just dealing with an issue that affects those living outside of our main cities - it's a problem for all of us, all around Australia.

250,000 Days Of Water Reached! - Prescript’s Giving Update

, , ,
250k Days Water.png

We have reached an incredible milestone towards our giving goal of one million days!

“Two hundred and fifty thousand days of access to safe drinking water for rural communities in Ethiopia.”

◾️ This is another enormous step towards our giving goal, and it feels incredible to be able to give back to those communities that need it the most.

◾️ For 2021 and beyond, our giving goal is to provide 1 million days of access to clean water to families living in poverty in rural Ethiopia.

◾️ It is with thanks to our doctors, hospitals and practices who have made this happen.

“We link our day to day business activities to our giving goal of providing families access to clean water in rural Ethiopia. ”

When the following things happen at Prescript, we give access to life-saving clean water:

✔️ When a hospital or practice confirms a doctor in a locum or permanent position in regional Australia

✔️ When a doctor refers another doctor to us

✔️ When a doctor registers as a new candidate with Prescript

✔️ When a doctor completes a reference for another doctor

✔️ When a hospital or practice agrees to work with Prescript on a long-term vacancy

 

Hand-Dug Wells – What Is It All About?

◾️ The projects we are supporting fund the construction of hand-dug wells in the Ethiopian province of Tigray.

◾️ During the recent unrest in northern Ethiopia, the project areas have continued to run.

◾️ The water program began during the 1980s civil war and evolved to a point where its low technology techniques were the best for implementation in times of conflict.

◾️ The provision of clean and hygienic water will reduce a woman’s average daily water collection time. Without a well, women can spend 3 hours, every day, collecting about 20 litres (for her whole family) of polluted water from sources often shared with defecating livestock.

◾️ The projects also include training & education in health and sanitation matters as well as family planning.

◾️ The whole family benefit from having access to clean water - meals can be prepared earlier, improved sanitary practices also mean less illness and fewer missed school days.

Watch the video above to see an example of how people access water in Ethiopia. It made me realise exactly what a difference we can make to communities such as these.

Being a Business for Good

All this has been made possible by our membership of the global business giving initiative Buy1Give1 (B1G1). It means your choice to work with Prescript ensures something great happens in the world and saves lives as well.

B1G1 is a social enterprise and non-profit organisation with a mission to create a world full of giving. Unlike conventional giving models, B1G1 helps small and medium-sized businesses achieve more social impact by embedding giving activities into everyday business operations and creating unique giving stories. Every business transaction (and as a result, the business’ day-to-day activity) can impact lives.

Happy Sixth Birthday To Prescript!

, ,
Happy Birthday Prescript 6.png

Prescript is Six Years Old!

It’s good to have the opportunity to pause and reflect sometimes. Birthdays and anniversaries are often traditional times to take stock and look back. March marks six years since Prescript opened its doors as medical recruitment specialists.

And - Wow - what a year! It has been a challenging time for everyone.

Here are SIX things jump out from the last year.

Thank You, Everyone

The biggest thank-you goes to our community of Prescript doctors:

★ staffing fever clinics

★ swapping from their usual roles to go where the need is greatest

★ volunteering to quarantine to fulfil locum commitments

★ crossing national and inter-state borders

★ showing good humour and understanding with all the travel changes that have taken place

★ making sure regional communities have the healthcare they need

The health-services we work with have been incredible - each time a border closed, we saw medical administration and management swing into action to put a plan in place to cover shortages. Flights booked, cancelled and rebooked; accommodation reservations unpicked; credentialing paperwork fast-tracked.

A huge well done too for the Prescript Recruitment team - I know that the doctors, hospitals, and practices we partner with have benefited from having Prescript operate at full capacity – the team have been there to manage cancelled locum shifts, change travel logistics, juggle border closures and answer questions. Our recruitment and credentialing teams have worked diligently to support our Prescript doctors and health services – they have focused on the ‘now’ with practical help, and they have focused on the ‘later’ with optimism that better times lie ahead.

Navigating Prescript through the last 12 months has been tough, and I want on a personal note to thank Stef, Nicola, Lee, Marcia, Grace, Kathleen, Max, Hugo, Rebecca and Nadine. We have stuck together and made it through.

In the next 12 months, Prescript is focused on improving our level of service - we want health services and doctors to love working with us (even more) and with that in mind, there are some exciting updates to come!

New Arrivals

Congratulations to Nadine Onto, on the arrival of baby Charlotte! It was wonderful to virtually say hello via zoom.

We are excited to welcome a new recruitment partner - Max Drakeley! Max is based in Melbourne.

New additions to our fur-colleagues - welcome to Stef’s Lukas; Marcia’s Bear and Max’s Monty and Barnaby.

Google and Prescript

We were delighted to share that Google spotlighted Prescript’s mission to help solve the regional doctor shortage - watch the video to learn about Marcia Beere (Prescript’s Recruitment & Credentialing Partner, based in Bega, NSW) and her working relationship with Dr Emily Vink (a GP Obstetrician based in Kununurra, remote Western Australia).

Office Has Reopened

We are now back in the office for part of the week. Embracing a hybrid model of working from home and spending time together in the office.

Zoom has helped us stay connected, across our different locations, however, being together again in person has been great!

I’ve flown to our Sydney HQ and our Melbourne office, from Adelaide and loved seeing the team. It feels like things are returning to some normalcy.

To stay connected as a team, we get together three times a year to celebrate and acknowledge hard work. We also reflect on how we can provide a better level of service to the doctors, hospitals and practices we partner with.

Next week, the whole Prescript team will be in Adelaide! It will be a chance to have fun, reflect on the past year and plan for our future.

Since 2015 we have visited every State and Territory - been on the tilting train from Bundaberg to Rockhampton; taken a shuttle bus to Noosa; driven to Bunbury and Busselton; bumped around in a 4x4 in the Northern Territory - we can’t wait to have more adventures across regional Australia!

250,000 Days Of Water!

For 2021 and beyond, our giving goal is to provide 1 million days of access to clean water for families in Ethiopia.

In fantastic news, this week we have reached 250,000 days of water! We are now a quarter of the way to our goal.

How? Each time we help a doctor with the next step in their career, we also contribute to the clean water and new wells in the Tigray region.

You’re part of making it happen by working with Prescript. Thank you.

“Happy 6th Birthday, Prescript! Looking forward to the next year ahead.”
