Testimonials
Beat Medical provides an excellent professional service. My last locum through them in Queensland was thoroughly enjoyable. They take care of all the administrative hurdles and one just needs to do what Docs do best and that is practice medicine. The initial stringent screening process ensures both employer/employee get what they want and the rest is just plain smooth sailing.

I am a Medical Officer with both substantial ED and Health Care Management skills. Six months ago I asked Beat Medical to find me immediate ED shifts close to home but also to try and place me in a suitable long term management position. I chose Beat Medical because I had worked with Shaun Hughston previously and had always found him honest, hard working, able to exceed client expectations and well versed in the intricacies of the local health system. Shaun spent some one on one time with me getting all my paperwork done and exploring what my long term goals were. By doing this he was able to get over the Dept Health barriers quickly. He also spent some time reflecting on possible long term postings that would fit my goals and gave me suggestions some of which I would not otherwise have thought of. About six weeks later Shaun was able to place me in a long term position with very good pay and conditions.
The key difference with Beat Medical is its interest in the long term welfare of the Doctor rather than just filling employment gaps within the health system. Shaun and Leonie are also easy to deal with and are very knowledgable within their industry. I would have no hesitation in reccomending Beat Medical to both prospective employers and Medical Officers looking for a new opportunity.
Dr Hamish Black, MB BS - Emergency SMO
I work as a Locum Emergency Physician. I have been with Beat Medical since August 2009 though I have personally known Leonie Shepstone since 1997. I asked Beat Medical to help me to find an emergency specialist locum position, and they have proven to be exceptionally reliable, trustworthy, honest and super efficient in their dealings with me. They make me feel like an individual, not just a number in their books. They always go the extra mile to make sure every little detail is taken care of. I would recommend Beat Medical to anyone who is looking for a highly professional, efficient and caring company.

I am an Emergency Physician and I have been on "the books" at Beat Medical since they started. I have had over the months particular dates in which I could work and Beat Medical seem to go to great lengths to accommodate these. I started with Beat Medical because of a professional association with Leonie in the past and I know that she gets the job done and goes the extra mile. Dealings with Beat Medical are always frank, open and pleasant.I strongly recommend to anyone requiring the services of a locum agency to try Beat Medical.

I am currently studying full-time, and working as a locum SRMO in a variety of positions. I joined Beat Medical in January 2010. Both Leonie and Shaun have been most helpful, and offer an individualised and trustworthy service. They are easy- going and approachable, with the attitude that no problem is too big to solve. They have gone out of their way to provide me with suitable locum postions in a variety of locations, and are always keen to follow-up. I highly recommend Beat Medical to anyone who is looking for extra locum work! Thanks Leonie and Shaun for your ongoing support!
Dr Shamini Ramoo, Senior Resident Medical Officer
I have known Shaun for at least 5 years, and had the pleasure of
working for him for 12 months. Shaun has extensive experience in medical
management and recruitment. This is reflected in his innovative ideas,
balanced with a pragmatic approach to medical recruitment. Shaun is
refreshingly passionate about finding employment solutions, rather than
being bogged down and embittered by workforce shortages. He is
meticulous and reliable, with great organisational and communication
skills – all the traits you could hope for, in someone responsible for
finding your dream job. He is also passionate about helping people, and
will work hard to ensure an employment arrangement that is rewarding for
both you and your employer. He is serious about helping people, and it
is reassuring to know that part of the recruitment fee is donated to
charity, again demonstrating his commitment to being part of the
solution, not part of the problem.
