Feedback on Activity Management
I was able to ensure I had my wedding off this year! If I had not been able to do this, I would have had to locum for a year as I couldn’t guarantee the time off in any other job.
The use of an app that both fairly and clearly allocates shifts is vital. I have previously had rota patterns go wrong and ended up working extremely unfairly and software like HealthRota reassures me that the system is fair and it is easy to get study leave off.
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.
Easy to use, brilliant way of swapping shifts and picking up locum shifts.
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.
HealthRota and the flexibility/annualisation and transparency that comes with it, the work/life balance my colleagues experience following the introduction into our department have all been instrumental in recruiting recently appointed new consultants and current senior registrars being attracted to working at RSCH/PRH and applying for jobs in the near future.
