Built from first-hand NHS experience.

Managing an NHS rota shouldn’t be this difficult.

Teams still spend valuable time building rotas, handling changes and chasing information across spreadsheets, emails and disconnected systems.

Too much administration

Creating the rota is only the start. Leave requests, swaps, gaps, last-minute changes and repeated queries all add to the workload.

Poor visibility

Doctors should be able to see where they are working, who is on call and what has changed, without having to ask. Managers need the same clarity across the whole team.

Too little flexibility

Rigid rotas can make leave and working preferences harder to accommodate. Flexible approaches can give doctors greater control while keeping services safely staffed.

Your workforce tools. All in one place.

RotaHive brings the tools needed to manage an NHS workforce into one connected platform, reducing the need to jump between spreadsheets, emails and separate systems.

Rostering & coverage

Build and manage rigid, flexible or self-rostering models. See staffing, gaps and on-call coverage clearly across your team.

Leave & swaps

Manage leave requests and shift swaps in one place, with clear workflows for doctors and managers.

Compliance

Check rotas against your organisation’s rules and working requirements, with potential problems highlighted before they become an issue.

Allocations

Manage where doctors are working across wards, clinics, theatres and other clinical areas, alongside the rota they already use.

Exception reporting

Make exception reporting straightforward for doctors, while giving the Guardian of Safe Working clearer oversight, trend visibility and reporting.

Expenses & workforce administration

Manage study expenses, other claims and wider workforce processes through the same system your team already uses.

Built for the people who manage the rota, and the people who work it.

Authentic professional portrait in an NHS or neutral workspace setting. Avoid stock-style posed imagery.

RotaHive was founded by an NHS doctor who has experienced the frustrations of rostering from several perspectives: as a doctor working the rota, as someone responsible for managing rotas, and through a Chief Registrar role involving workforce, safety and governance issues.

The idea was simple: bring the tools doctors and managers need into one place, without losing the governance and organisational controls that healthcare requires.

Built for the realities of NHS workforce management.
