Medirota
Medirota is used to effectively plan, operate and report on mixed-role activity for consultant-led services in a wide range of clinical, surgical, medical and ward based departments. Medirota is used to coordinate around 18,000 staff in over 400 departments at 60 NHS Trusts.
Introduction to Medirota
Medirota helps departments present a clear overview of the service that is planned and then delivered. Data and reports are readily available and provide information that allows departments to shape and model their service. Mapping allows for rota information to be shared between departments to improve communication and collaboration within and across teams.
Rotamaps services help departments to plan future activity, adapt that plan to meet changes in demand and capacity, and report on activity that's been delivered to analyse depatmental performance. Use this data to help inform improvements to future plans, maximising the use of your clincal workforce and streamlining service delivery.

What our users say
"Using Medirota has allowed us to demonstrate some of the inefficiencies that were ingrained in our department, allowing our admin team to plan further in advance and subsequently make more efficient use of substantive resource."
"Medirota has helped us remove the duplication of effort and associated waste when constructing the rota and most crucially, provides a central document for all staff who need it. It has solved the issue of double booking clinics and theatre lists and provides the opportunity to audit of our session provision with minimal effort. The number of queries regarding the location of our staff has dramatically reduced and Medirota helps us communicate vital information about the rota throughout the Trust."
"Having the ability to view several weeks of rota in advance, highlights shortfalls in staff levels ahead of notice, allowing for better service planning and reducing the element of last minute panic changes."
