We were proud sponsors of the RCoA College Tutor Meeting 2026! π Supporting those who manage clinical training and safe rota design aligns perfectly with our mission. π€ It was a great event! π #RCoA#Anaesthesia#NHSWorkforce#NHSInnovation
Excited to be at the @QEIICentre today! As co-founders of @dbrotas and alumni of Cohort 7 at @NHS_CEP, we're delighted to be sharing how algorithm-driven personalised rota creation is helping transform workforce planning across 20+ @NHS Trusts!
@Heccles94 He probably heard about our @dbrotas bespoke rostering model, currently deployed across 22 @NHS departments and spreading faster than #MedTwitter / #MedX gossipβ¦
Glad to see the benefits of our bespoke / request rotas being seen as a hallmark of good practice in anaesthetic rotas #GoldStandard#residentdoc#MedTwitter
Stats for leave requests submitted for future rotas for the next 6 months (since 01/11/2024):
βοΈ 100% of 1716 weekend off requests incorporated
βοΈ 100% of 1246 annual leave requests incorporated
βοΈ 100% of 459 study leave requests incorporated
@obstetricmedic Fixed rolling rotas are unfortunately still the norm for resident doctors with no flexibility for life or training. Having experienced this ourselves we set out to make things better. Just yesterday we made a 3/12 bespoke rota for 70 trainees whilst including all 660 requests.
@AmarHujan Our rostering platform does exactly this. As doctors rotate around the departments we cover we ensure a trainee doesn't work consecutive years. If a trainee is new we ask if they worked the previous year before we generate a rota.
ββ¦Based on their feedback, we would advocate for continued use of @dbrotas, and recommend that other trusts across the West Midlands also consider introduction of this system.β 2/2
Great to see a poster about @dbrotas titled βAnaesthetics Rotas: Time for a changeβ presented at the @RCoANews college tutors meeting by @WorcsAcuteNHS#RCoA#CTMeeting2024 β π https://t.co/Nb2VY2YNXq
@MTWilliams94 Yesterday, we generated a bespoke rota for an anaesthetic department with 37 trainees. 523 leave request submitted β 167 weekend off requests. 100% requested leave incorporated, and compliant rotas were successfully published.
@DrNickTwit My new hospital is using https://t.co/mcK6sPz4Ib which builds individual rotas around leave requests etc which sounds good (if it works as described π¬)
Glad to see a new focus on improving rostering practices. Our innovative rostering platform has allowed 99.9% of leave requests accommodated this year. Hopefully this guidance by @NHSEngland should be an impetus for more departments to move away from archaic fixed rolling rotas.
The NHS is setting out measures to improve the working lives of postgraduate doctors.
These include improving payroll accuracy, reducing admin burden and enhancing choice and flexibility with rotas. https://t.co/1wekgYwqei
