Desperately Seeking Doctors - Head Medical

Sept. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- As the jobs market for GPs in the UK tightens, with an oversupply of newly qualified GPs and a shortage of attractive jobs, more and more GPs are being attracted to live and work down under.  There is a huge shortage of GPs in Australia and New Zealand and high demand for UK trained GPs, whose training and experience is internationally recognised.  Demand is so high that Head Medical now has its own dedicated GP team, with two Consultants focussing full time on GP recruitment to Australia and New Zealand.  In fact changes in registration pathways in Australia mean it is now easier than ever for UK qualified GPs to make the move. With good career opportunities, competitive salaries, low costs of living and famously high quality of life, not to mention a significantly better climate, it is easy to see why many doctors are attracted to these countries either permanently or for a fixed term working holiday prior to returning to work in the UK.

Head Medical currently have around 100 GP jobs in a variety of attractive Australian and New Zealand locations including in metropolitan cities such as Perth, Melbourne, Auckland, as well as some smaller towns and world class coastal towns and beaches.  Whether GPs are keen to enjoy the vibrant arts and entertainment scenes in the major cities, hike / ski in wilderness areas, snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef every day after work, or experience life and work in remote indigenous communities, Head Medical are able to offer the opportunities to suit every taste.
