Prescript is working closely with the public health service in Dubbo, Western NSW to cover a period of maternity leave in their Neurology department from February 2023. Any availability will be considered for doctors able to cover general outpatient clinics.
If you can provide locum coverage on a one-off or ongoing basis, for as little as 2-3 shifts per block, we would love your assistance, please get in touch today.
The Position
Staff shortages in WNSW have resulted in a backlog of patients requiring general Neurology consultations. You would be assessing non-urgent patients, reviewing and discharging them with the aim of reducing the length of the long-term waiting list. There may also be some follow-up patients who are due for review.
You would be working independently with support from the Clinical Director, however, there are 17 other specialist physicians on-site and full JMO coverage. There are no teaching requirements involved. Clinics run twice daily, Monday-Friday, one-hour appointments for new patients and 30-minute appointments for follow-ups.
This is a critical locum position where your expert services are highly valued. Due to the nature of the role, dates are highly flexible and can be tailored entirely around your existing roster. For locums interested in providing ongoing coverage, a telehealth arrangement can be implemented if you are unable to travel in person – please enquire for more details.
★ Excellent locum rate of $2500 per day + super
★ Work as little as 2-3 days per locum stint
★ Ongoing locum arrangements are highly sought after
★ Full travel from anywhere in Australia and accommodation provisions (excellent serviced apartments).
★ For extended blocks, shared weekend on-call coverage (paid at the daily rate) can be arranged
★ For locums unable to travel, remote telehealth opportunities exist for onboarded locums
★ Neurologists specialising in niche fields may have the opportunity to provide this support
Dubbo is an important rural centre in regional New South Wales and has a variety of interesting cultural attractions as well as beautiful vineyards, and an up-and-coming dining scene. Dubbo is also home to the open-range Taronga Western Plains Zoo!
Since family-friendly accommodation can be arranged, and cheap airfare options from most major cities, why not bring the family along to enjoy the various attractions?
