Preparing a rota the old way

It can take days to prepare a rota for a GP practice.

Imagine a GP practice with the following staff members;

· 4 full time, 1 ¾ time partners

· 2 with outside commitments

· 1 part time registrar

· 1 part time retainer

· 4 locum/assistants

Each time a new rota is prepared the practice manager would need to allow for the following;

· Changing shift requirements

· Minimum staffing numbers

· Preferential shift allocation

· Partner required at all times

· Changing personnel

· Variable half days

· Specialised shifts

· Staff availability

· Staffing cover

Help is at hand

What if you could simply enter the types of sessions, preferred date and time and number of staff required?  Do this once.

Enter the duties that each staff member can undertake, their preferred times and days and their session rating priority.  Do this once as well.

For each staff member enter when they are and aren’t available.

Now select the start date and the number of weeks for the rota you’d like prepared.

Press OK.

Rotas can be prepared at any time, for any number of staff and for any variation of sessions.  As circumstances change the Omni GP Rota system will produce a new rota.
