Rethinking Doctor Rostering: Why greater visibility and flexibility will be transformative for healthcare
With Covid-19 having stretched resources to the limit, healthcare providers face a huge battle as they attempt to reduce patient backlogs.
The pressure to meet patient needs is made worse by the fact that workforces have been worn down by the hardships of the pandemic – and the NHS is being hindered by a shortfall of doctors nationally.
To overcome this challenge, healthcare providers need to support their doctors at the same time as ensuring they are delivering for patients on the frontline. The ability to get doctors where they need to be, while simultaneously looking after their wellbeing, has heightened the role that effective doctor rostering can play.
To understand how staffing schedules can help healthcare providers deliver for patients at the point of need and vastly improve doctors’ work-life balance, we spoke to experts in the field.
We asked them where transformation was needed and why increased visibility and flexibility have become vital. They also explain how digital technology is helping healthcare providers overcome their challenges and the outcomes that can be expected when solutions are successfully implemented.

Rotageek
From Scalpels to Scheduling In 2006, two medical doctors and a tech guru got together to answer one question: how could they make better, more flexible, fair rotas in the Accident and Emergency department where Chris (one of those doctors) worked? In an attempt to solve the problem, a pioneering scheduling solution was born. Chris McCullough, Roy Pounder and Nick Mann knew they were on to something when they put the finishing touches on their scheduling product, primed to revolutionize how rosters were done within the UK’s healthcare sector. But it was only after a few years, and a successful sidestep into the retail world, that Rotageek truly became a world-class scheduling company, that counted some of the world’s biggest brands on it’s books. Fast forward a decade and Rotageek is an award-winning, best-in-class employee scheduling solution that has re-invented how rosters are done.
