Formed in 2003 in response to a growing demand for locum hospital doctors, Athona realised a requirement in the market for an agency to focus on specialty specific recruitment. In August 2003, a national shortage of anaesthetists initiated our first recruitment drive.
After successfully building a strong bank of high-calibre anaesthetists, our reputation for placing locum doctors into hard to fill posts grew, with that so did our dedication to specialist recruitment. Using the same methodology, between 2005 and 2008, we opened dedicated recruitment desks for
Radiology,
General Medicine,
Pathology,
Paediatrics & Neonates,
Surgical Specialties,
Psychiatry,
Dental,
Emergency Medicine and
Obstetrics & Gynaecology. Today, Athona has thousands of active, registered hospital doctors spanning a variety of specialties and sub-specialties.
Placing hospital doctors is only part of our company ethos, Athona constantly delivers high standards. Our team of recruitment professionals meet these demands, providing our candidates and clients with the best possible experience from people who understand your industry.
Athona Doctor Recruitment is part of The Athona Group, which also includes niche recruitment agencies in the
Allied Health and
Education sectors.
