Fantastic work that will really make a difference to our doctors – well done to everyone involved. Keep up the great work!
Excellent system. I found it very helpful for allocating the department juniors appropriately. As a consultant, it’s great to be able to document our session time and being an app, it’s accessible from anywhere.
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.
HealthRota is brilliant to use for my team as shift workers, it has cut down in staff needing to email for leave.
Easy to use – really like the interface in that I can so easily see who is off and who is in work. Definitely much better than a paper rota. Also, easy to just extend the rota for another year instead of having to copy and paste and make changes in a paper one.
This is a very attractive feature when recruiting consultants to our department. I am constantly asked about it by other departments and colleagues in other hospitals. We are in a specialty that is prone to burnout, traditionally under-resourced, low status and with a high emotional burden. It makes a massive difference for those who are full-time clinical but also for those part-time or clinical academics as it allows flexibility and ensures fairness across the rota. It has really changed things for the better – our full-time consultants now consistently get one day-off per week. This has never happened before HealthRota. Our previously very understaffed department is now much better staffed than neighbouring Trusts’ and I think this is (at least in part) down to the implementation of HealthRota for our consultants.
I think it’s great – especially because you can choose the weekends you’d rather not work because of other commitments.
HealthRota meant I was able to have a great work- life balance, got the time off for study/annual leave when I needed it and protected me from inevitable burnout. I would recommend HealthRota to any future trusts I work in – it is a huge asset to a Trust, and particularly to the Emergency Department.
Amazing app and great for locums!
HealthRota has been invaluable in giving me flexibility for my personal and professional leave. It is very easy to use and gives a clear overview of staffing. As teaching fellow I have needed the flexibility to optimise my work opportunities, I could easily swap my shifts and leave to ensure I didn’t miss out and could contribute. I have never had such a flawless rota before… I cannot praise this rota enough and would be sorely disappointed if it was withdrawn.
It’s such an improvement on classical binding rotas to be able to plan leave and unavailability upfront – I don’t know anyone who has complained about this system compared to traditional methods. The rota team that supports the app are EXCELLENT and have only been very helpful and supportive!
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.
