Dr Jack Dascalu – Working on the most remote island on the planet

There are not many Doctors that can claim to have worked on one of the top 3 remote islands on earth.

WORKING ON REMOTE ISLANDS AS A LOCUM DOCTOR


By 2016, a chance contact by one of our Consultants Terry, saw him find our locum agency and then interview for a job on the second most remote island on earth, Pitcairn Island.


Jack was successful and ended up spending two years on the island! Not content with the remoteness, he then secured a role on Tristan Da Cunha, officially the most remote island on the planet.


More recently, our 
GP jobs guru Stuart secured him another stint back at Pitcairn Island, returning to the home of the descendants of the Bounty Mutineers!


Despite all of these unique experiences, one of his most memorable moments was saving a man’s life while a Junior Doctor, with the man being incredibly thankful.
He cites his biggest challenge as combining and balancing family life and career, having dedicated a huge amount of his life to medicine. Needless to say, he hopes to be a grandfather soon and is incredibly proud of his children, one of them who is currently on route to become a Paediatrician.


Jack finished our interview, stating he loved Narcos on Netflix, is a big fan of the Rolling Stones, and is partial to a political podcast when time allows!
