Case Study: Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust improves ED staffing, retention and work-life balance with HealthRota

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust saves over £1 million with HealthRota

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust struggled with unsustainable rotas in its Emergency Department, leading to significant staffing gaps and high agency costs. To address this, the Trust partnered with vendor HealthRota to find a functional and cost-effective IT solution for workforce management.

HealthRota implemented a flexible, annualised rostering system accessible via a mobile app. This solution ensured 24/7 consultant cover, optimized staffing based on patient need, and provided individual flexibility. The results for the Trust included £1 million in annual locum cost savings, a 100% fill rate for new posts, and 81% of staff reporting a good work-life balance.
