When it comes to paediatricians, I get to work with the kindest and most nurturing doctors out there. They get to be around children all day and as rewarding as that may be, it can be very stressful, so it is my mission and priority to see the doctor happy and their wellbeing is looked after.

Paediatrics opportunities.

Doctors first. Then Jobs. That's our difference.

Life as a doctor demands you give everything. Dr Sam Hazledine learned this first as an intern. Years later Medrecruit was his response. Sam successfully lobbied the World Medical Association to amend the Declaration of Geneva (the modern-day Hippocratic Oath) to include:

I will attend to my own health, wellbeing, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.

Medrecruit continue to advocate for, educate and work towards better health and wellbeing for all doctors.
