Connecting ACEM Registrars & ACEM Advanced Trainees with Top Emergency Departments Across Australia
Tom Rhodes-Wilson
Emergency Department Recruitment Consultant – ED Registrars & ACEM Trainee Locums
When it comes to ACEM Trainee locums and Emergency Medicine Registrar recruitment, Tom focuses on one thing:
Building structured, long-term locum pathways for serious Emergency Medicine doctors.
Not shift-filling.
Not last-minute scrambling.
Actual strategy.
Built on Real Recruitment Experience
Before specialising in Emergency Medicine, Tom worked as a Recruitment Officer with the UK Department for Work and Pensions, where he:
- Led full-cycle recruitment across multiple departments
- Managed 100+ hires annually from sourcing to onboarding
- Reduced time-to-fill by 20%
- Improved quality-of-hire metrics by 15%
- Successfully negotiated over 95% of offers
That background matters. Because recruitment at this level is about structure, negotiation, and long-term placement planning, not just sending CVs.

Specialist in ED Registrars & ACEM Trainees
Tom works exclusively with:
✔ ACEM Trainees
✔ ACEM Advanced Trainees
✔ Senior ED Registrars

He understands:
- The pressure of Primary and Fellowship exams
- The importance of accredited training environments
- The difference between service-heavy and training-friendly departments
- Roster politics and consultant support
- The need to protect progression toward FACEM
ACEM trainees aren’t entry-level locums. They’re future FACEMs. Tom treats them that way.
Negotiation That Protects Your Value
Tom’s background in high-volume recruitment sharpened one key skill: negotiation.
That now translates directly into:
- Strong rate advocacy
- Clear expectation setting with departments
- Securing roster blocks, not one-off shifts
- Protecting registrar scope of practice
- Aligning placements with long-term career progression
Good placements don’t happen by accident. They’re positioned properly.
Relationship-Driven, Not Transactional
Earlier in his career, Tom worked in employment coaching, helping candidates build structured career plans and acting as a liaison between employers and professionals.
That experience shaped how he recruits today.
He focuses on:
- Long-term career alignment
- Honest conversations
- Clear communication
- Consistency
- Follow-through
Advanced Trainees aren’t just filling gaps. They’re building consultant careers. That requires a different approach.
Calm, Organised, Reliable
Tom is known for being:
- Clear and direct
- Methodical
- Calm under pressure
- Data-driven
- Accountable
Advanced Trainees already juggle exams, training requirements, and personal life. They don’t need chaos from their recruiter.
They need predictability and clarity.
The Blugibbon ED Structure
Blugibbon’s Emergency Department recruitment is split intentionally:
Lesley-Anne – Non In Charge ED, RMOs, PHOs
Tom – ACEM Registrars & ACEM Advanced Trainees
That focus allows deeper specialisation and better outcomes for both doctors and departments.
