Case Study: NHS Trust saves £400,000 in six months with HealthRota

NHS Trust saves £400,000 in 6 months with HealthRota

An NHS Trust, one of the UK's largest integrated health and social care providers, was facing soaring agency costs that reached over £2 million annually. The challenges included inadequate rota planning, an inability to match resources to demand, and difficulty ensuring compliance with working time regulations. To address this, the Trust partnered with HealthRota to implement its e-rostering solution.

HealthRota provided a comprehensive e-rostering platform that automated leave calculations, enabled shift swaps via a mobile app, and allowed the Trust to view and flex rotas as a single entity to meet demand. This solution led to a substantial reduction in the reliance on agency staff, saving the Trust £400,000 in locum costs within the first six months. The implementation also improved staff flexibility and operational efficiency across the department.
