Our tech-enabled staff bank service is transforming flexible and collaborative working in healthcare

Less than a week ago we approached Patchwork Health to help us manage our CV clinics and dipped our toe into recruiting medical students for the South Liverpool Vaccination Programme. Today we filled our first shifts, have over 200 students in our inbox and 50 already signed up. Big thanks to the altruism of our communities.

The Implementation team couldn’t be more driven, they worked tirelessly to ensure that the project was delivered on time and was a success. Working with Patchwork has brought the Trust significant savings in both costs and time savings through the streamlining of processes. Nothing was too much bother with Patchwork, they listened and implemented changes to the system to fit with our processes

The data coming from Patchwork Insights is set to change how we review our medical locum expenditure. Previously we would have got raw data and had to process it through spreadsheets. Now we've got much more visually appealing dashboards that we're introducing as the means by which each senior manager discussess their locum expenditure.

Using Patchwork as the technology enabler, AUH was able to transform the culture and the operational practice of temporary staffing within the Trust. With Patchwork AUH has introduced a centralised staff bank function and more equitable harmonised hourly rates. The early results have been dramatic with improvement in bank bookings and the average hourly rates for locum pay.

I’ve found Patchwork to be very effective, in particular their expertise, knowledge of the market and opportunities for savings. And especially, customer responsiveness. The support they offer to implement Patchwork is clearly fundamental in success and sets them apart from other companies. The product overall is excellent and has clear results.

On Friday, we got in touch with Patchwork Health outlining a proposal to support SWAGGA and CWN with staffing rotas. By Monday, they had developed a bespoke solution just for us. We are very grateful for the time and energy it will save the practices, which they can now dedicate to treating patients and keeping the community as healthy and resilient as possible.

We are delighted to work with Patchwork! The project support provided by the Patchwork implementation team has been first class, as has their engagement with stakeholders throughout the Trust. Their comprehensive software and service has helped to reduce agency and administration costs, whilst at the same time making our systems much easier to use for our staff and doctors

My personal thoughts on Patchwork as a system - if I was a doctor, I would use it. The implementation has been a very comprehensive one. The team have worked well with us; they've worked with multiple stakeholders within the organisation as well to ensure that the delivery has been a success.
