Feedback on e-Rostering
The app is fantastic, very easy to use, great for getting the time off you need for AL/SL (e.g. able to get onto an ALS revalidation course and not worrying about swapping night shifts so I could attend!) and so useful for knowing who is working at any one time in the hospital (particularly during on-calls). It is definitely something that should be implemented at other trusts both to improve junior doctors’ wellbeing and improve patient safety with easier adaptability for unexpected sickness and awareness of who is working at any one point in the hospital across many teams.
The rotas are easy to view on the app and you can see how good the cover is on any given day. It is also very useful being able to request annual leave whenever you want to rather than having to fit it in between on-calls.
I did not know about the HealthRota app before coming to RSCH/PRH but I really was amazed with the system. Having all our entitled leave allocated when organising our rota was extremely helpful, compared to other trusts where it would be so difficult to use up all your annual and/or study leave due to staffing difficulties (and therefore contributed to burnout and decreased wellbeing). It is one major aspect that has made me want to consider staying at this trust next year.
HealthRota has allowed me to have a much better work/life balance while pursuing a career in Emergency Medicine. It is refreshing to have much more control over when you work and how you fill your hours with self-rostering and HealthRota. I got married during my attachment in ED and there was minimal hassle getting the stag, wedding and honeymoon off. This would have been a nightmare without HealthRota. As well as ensuring departmental safety, I believe systems like HealthRota will reduce personal burnout in ED and increase job satisfaction.
Being able to see who is/will be in the working team alongside me for a given shift/shifts is helpful for fostering a team atmosphere in the absence of true “firms” and contributes to wellbeing.
This is such a great system – I have received 100% of the annual leave and unavailable days I have requested in both my clinical fellow job and my current training job. It makes such a difference not feeling that sense of dread when trying to get annual leave granted for important life events and marking unavailable days where you actually want your zero days is so much better than having them randomly allocated to days that are not useful. It is an excellent system and a massive selling point.
