About Us

Formed in 2003 in response to a growing demand for highly skilled hospital doctors & locums, Athona realised a requirement in the market for an agency to focus on specific specialties within the healthcare industry.

A national shortage of Anaesthetists initiated our first recruitment drive & after successfully building a strong bank of high-calibre Anaesthetists, our reputation for placing suitable candidates into hard to fill posts grew & with that so did our dedication to specialist recruitment.

Using the same methodology, we used our experience & knowledge of the market to open dedicated recruitment desks for acute and mental health hospital doctors:

• Anaesthetics
• A&E (Emergency Medicine)
• Radiology
• Mental Health (Psychiatry)
• Pathology / Haematology / Microbiology
• Obstetrics & Gynaecology
• Oral & Max
• Medicine - all sub-specialities
• Paediatrics & Neonates
• Surgery - all sub-specialties

Athona Doctor Recruitment is part of the Athona group, which includes niche agencies focused on Allied Health & Education recruitment.
