Critical Care
University Hospital Wales
I spend roughly a quarter of the time I used to on self-rostering, my colleagues love the system, saying how user friendly it is, and how efficient. They can access theirs and others rotas simply and effectively.”
ED Clinical Lead
University Hospitals Southampton
The software has not only been invaluable to the teams/users, but has also contributed in significantly reducing the administration resource that had previously been required to manage the rotas. HealthRota is a far more cost-effective alternative”
Workforce Hub Manager, Integrated Medicine
Cardiff and Vale Health Board
We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with HealthRota to support the e-rostering of more than 2,000 colleagues across our Medical and Allied Health workforce. Flexible rostering is at the heart of the national NHS People Plan and Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust see HealthRota’s e-rostering solution as the key to unlocking the potential of flexible, fair and transparent working for our colleagues.”
Director of People
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
Already the data which HealthRota provides on the deployment of our workforce enables us to roster colleagues more efficiently and effectively, ensuring that patient safety remains our number one priority. I’m delighted that HealthRota will improve the experience of our patients, while benefiting our colleagues in the visibility of their own and their colleagues’ rotas – with promising increases in flexibility to come.”
Divisional Director of Integrated Medicine
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
Hand on my heart, this is not a sob story. I was looking after about 50 patients by myself. I had an awful time. They were struggling to get locums to cover, and I was pleading with managers to get me locums to help look after them because I was looking after both the ward and the outliers, which could total up to 50 patients, and I can see the difference. I don’t plead to get my shifts covered anymore. Here I just turn up to work, and I enjoy it because I know that the patients are getting the best that we can provide
Educational Fellow
University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust
We had someone who did anatomy demonstrating for one day-a-week and so, only wanted to work 60%. Fitting someone like that into a rolling rota was impossible before, but with self-rostering and the allocation of shifts that staff can put in themselves, it actually becomes really easy… We’re able to support personal development and Sheffield becomes a more interesting and attractive place to work.
Emergency Consultant, Northern General Hospital
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Prior to introduction of HealthRota it took a Consultant about 4 hours of time per week to roster 18 Consultants across three departments. Now we have expanded to 44 consultants, the increased complexity can still be managed in half the time with the introduction of self-rostering and then subsequent shift swaps and give ups through the mobile application.”
Consultant, Emergency Medicine & CCIO
The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
HealthRota has transformed how we manage our junior doctor rotas from a daily nightmare to a well organised and flexible system able to respond to the needs of modern working patterns. We are looking forward to putting all our Consultants on the sane system as soon as possible”
Chief of Surgery Division
University Hospitals Sussex
It’s clear that feedback from our medical colleagues has been incredibly positive for the simplicity and visibility that HealthRota provides. As a Division, we’re looking forward to using HealthRota’s e-rostering software to further enhance flexible working for medical trainees and to improve the delivery of care to our patients’.”
Chair of Integrated Medicine
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
We’re delighted to be extending e-rostering and its benefits to all Allied Health Professional colleagues. Introducing HealthRota to our AHP colleagues will increase the flexibility and transparency of our rotas, supporting colleagues to provide the best possible care for our patients and achieving the key aims of the NHS People Plan. We’re thrilled that by using HealthRota’s software, colleagues will have an increase in the degree of working choices they have, while also allowing us to roster study and professional development time for the first time.”
Head of Allied Health Professionals
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
HealthRota is the only system that truly allows use of annualised hours. Can work out how many hours each of your staff can work on the shop floor – based on their full time equivalent employment, length of contract, their contractual leave and their non-shop floor hours. This allows self rostering, ability to recruit staff who want a limited PAS/hours jobs and ability to recruit and utilise when needed clinical fellows.”
