I’m Jo Weaver - Prescript’s Recruitment Partner for Medical Non-Specialists - RMOs and Registrars. I’m delighted to share with you a bit about my experience within the healthcare industry and the path that led me to Prescript.
I've had the privilege of dedicating my career to the ever-evolving realm of health services. From my early days in a bustling Family GP Practice to my current role at Prescript Recruitment, the path has been rich with experiences and growth.
My healthcare journey commenced in the heart of a Family GP Practice in Melton South, Victoria - ‘Station Medical Centre’, where I had the chance to immerse myself in every facet of the clinic. From the welcoming smiles at the front reception to delving into patients' needs, my role encapsulated both the visible interactions and the intricate machinery that keeps a medical practice ticking.
The clinic began as a modest setup, with just two doctors and two receptionists. However, as the patient base expanded and the community flourished, so did the practice. One of the most rewarding aspects was getting to understand the unique needs of our patients and forming lasting connections with them. To this day, it warms my heart to bump into familiar faces from my time there, and to know that I've left a positive impression.
My path then led me to a small rural public hospital ‘Bacchus Marsh Hospital, Victoria’ introducing a fresh chapter of challenges and learning. Here, I forged new relationships with clinical staff across diverse departments – from consulting clinics to theatre services and maternity wards. My interactions with the doctors extended throughout the hospital, and the collaborative environment was incredibly fulfilling.
In this role, maintaining the clinician's schedules, both on a daily basis and for on-call rotations, became a cornerstone of my responsibilities. The intricacies of this task were not without their complexities, yet there was immense satisfaction in bridging critical gaps in the clinical rosters. This ensured that the hospital's various units, whether the theatre, the wards, or after-hours care, remained adequately staffed, safeguarding the quality of patient care. The journey demanded organisation, resilience, adaptability, and the ability to innovate in the face of change – skills that have evolved over time.
Beyond the captivating world of healthcare, I find joy in various pursuits. The allure of crime mystery novels often draws me into their enigmatic narratives, providing a well-deserved escape. Then there's running, a personal challenge I've embraced wholeheartedly, with my sights set on conquering a half marathon by year-end – fingers crossed! And on a different note, the satisfaction of cultivating and consuming homegrown vegetables is a simple pleasure that resonates deeply.
In my current role at Prescript, I work closely with RMOs and Registrars, forming a vital bridge between these dedicated doctors and the communities that rely on their medical expertise. I stepped into my role at Prescript Recruitment with my aspirations clear; I aim to be more than a Recruitment Partner – I envision being a vital contributor to the team and the overall business. My mission is aligned with Prescript’s: to solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia. We aim to facilitate the provision of healthcare services by connecting dedicated locum doctors with the communities that need it most. It's a privilege to play a role in ensuring that these communities continue to receive the medical attention they deserve.
Having embarked on a journey that spans various facets of the healthcare industry, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges that health services face when it comes to staffing and credentialing.
So here's to the journey that's led me here, and the road that stretches ahead. With a heart brimming with passion for healthcare, a mind open to growth, and a commitment to making a difference, I'm excited to embrace each new chapter with Prescript Recruitment. Together, let's make healthcare accessible, efficient, and compassionate – one connection at a time.
