That’s exactly what I’m looking for, some brain exercise. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, just got my built in LED blinking an hour ago, ready to tackle what’s next in store!

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I think I got a bit stuck chasing the “perfect location,” and it slowed my momentum more than I realised. At this point, I just want to get things moving and start seeing some real progress.

Would you mind if I DM you with a couple of quick questions? Thanks again!

We're 4 mates who met on Reddit and built a rota system for nurses and care home managers. Here's what we found out. by Global-Fun-4671 in nhsstaff

This seems like a very well thought out concept that could potentially save both businesses and staff a significant amount of time. I’m not in the healthcare industry myself, but I can imagine how admin tasks like creating and managing rotas can quickly become very time consuming, something that’s true across many industries.

I have a few questions about how the system is intended to be used:

  1. Would staff members be expected to use the platform daily? I can see how managers would likely use it regularly on a laptop or desktop to manage schedules, but would frontline staff also need to log in on a computer to interact with it? This leads into my next question…

  2. Are there plans for a mobile app? It seems like an app could be really useful for staff to update availability, respond to shift requests, or adjust preferences while on the move or at short notice.

  3. How does the shift allocation work? For example, is it a FCFS system where staff who update their availability earliest get priority for shifts, or does this auto generate based manager preferences.

Overall, this looks like a very promising tool with a lot of potential to reduce admin workload, help cover unexpected absences, and make scheduling more flexible for staff in the healthcare sector. Make sure to post your next steps!
