Temporary Staffing, Permanent Pressure: A Digital Way Forward for the NHS
Rising levels of staff absence continue to place significant pressure on NHS services. As a result, Trusts are increasingly reliant on temporary staffing to maintain safe patient care, costing the NHS over £10bn every year.
How can Trusts…
- Speed up access to staff when they’re urgently needed?
- Manage this spend effectively while protecting services?
- Ensure value for money and maintain strict authorisation controls?
- Reduce the administrative burden of managing temporary staff?
- Keep accurate, secure digital records?
- Move away from paper‑based processes?
While agency and bank staff are essential for day‑to‑day operations, their use comes with substantial, and often underestimated, financial and administrative costs. At a time of intense financial scrutiny across the NHS, Trusts need solutions that are not only cost‑efficient but also protect patient safety and ensure continuity of care.
Join Princess Alexandra’s Hospital NHS Trust’s award-winning Digital Transformation team expert, Satyam Gehani, and representatives from people resourcing and retention, who will explain how the Trust has deployed a fully integrated digital solution that streamlines the entire process of requesting and managing bank and temporary staff. The solution digitises and connects the submission, approval, and onboarding stages for both agency and bank workers to better support staffing during absences.
In this webinar, you’ll discover how the digital solution:
- Brings together forms, workflows, and dashboards to create a fast, transparent, and secure multi‑stage approval process.
- Provides real‑time tracking of staffing needs and associated costs.
- Enhances transparency and operational control with clear, auditable data.
- Automatically transfers accurate workforce data into ESR for timely payroll processing.
- Reduces errors through improved data governance.
Perfect for anyone working in the public sector, especially HR, Workforce Management, or Operational teams, this webinar will equip you with practical insights and ideas you can take away and apply within your own organisation. You’ll also have the chance to ask your questions in a live Q&A with the experts.
