Case Study: Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust improves doctor rostering and workforce visibility with HealthRota

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust boosts rota visibility 67% with HealthRota

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust faced significant workforce challenges, particularly in recruitment and staff deployment, which were severely magnified by the Covid-19 pandemic. Their reliance on manual spreadsheets for rostering led to a lack of visibility, unequal workloads for trainees, and high spending on temporary locum staff. To address this, they implemented the HealthRota e-rostering and workforce management platform as part of their emergency response.

HealthRota provided a real-time, mobile-accessible solution that was implemented in just three days. The results included a 67% increase in knowing which doctors were available and a 95% improvement in staff finding it easier to know who to escalate patient concerns to. The solution gave the Trust a clear view of deployment, improved clinical safety, stabilized locum costs, and significantly boosted staff morale and work-life balance.
