Case Study: NHS Southampton City achieves efficiency savings with Allocate Software HealthRoster

NHS Southampton City use HealthRoster to achieve efficiency savings while maintaining the highest levels of care

NHS Southampton City, a community provider organisation, needed better control over highly complex rosters for diverse, mobile staff across multiple locations while reducing waste and maintaining high standards of care. To address this, they chose Allocate Software’s HealthRoster e-rostering solution, with features such as location-based rostering, ESR integration, competency reporting, and support for pandemic flu planning.

With Allocate Software’s HealthRoster, managers gained real-time visibility of staffing, improved deployment of substantive staff, and reduced reliance on bank and agency cover. The Trust reported major administrative time savings, fairer rosters, better sickness and leave management, and savings of up to £2 million over three years, while improving service delivery and releasing more time to care.
