  • Self-Rostering

    Our powerful self-rostering tool gives healthcare professionals more ownership of their work schedules while ensuring seamless service delivery.

    Read More

    Self-rostering in the NHS is a flexible approach to workforce scheduling that allows team members to manage their own shifts. Self-rostering prioritises individual preferences while maintaining the staffing levels required for high-quality patient care.

    The BMA, NHS Employers AND NHS England recommend self-rostering or flexible working as the “aspirational best practice for outstanding employers”.

    The following royal collages have mentioned or done papers on self rostering: RCEM, RCA, RCN and RCP.

    With HealthRota, self-rostering is easy, efficient and safe – enabling you to:

    • Improve Work-Life Balance: Choose shifts that align with your personal commitments.
    • Enhance Team Collaboration: Easily coordinate with colleagues to ensure fair and equitable scheduling.
    • Maintain Compliance: Automate rules for safe staffing levels and working hours.

    How self-rostering works in HealthRota

    1. Set the Framework: Managers define the shift requirements, staffing rules, and deadlines for submitting preferences.
    2. Submit Preferences: Team members log into the HealthRota app to indicate their preferred shifts, availability, or time off.
    3. Manager review: Managers have the option to adjust the selected shifts and fill any gaps still outstanding.
    4. Collaborate and Adjust: Once published, staff can swap shifts or make adjustments (with manager approval) directly through the platform.

    When self-rostering has been introduced the results speak for themselves time and time again: improved staff satisfaction, reduced costs on locums and admin, and improved recruitment and retention. Check out our Brighton self-rostering case study for more details.
