CLWRota is an innovative web service for managing anaesthetics and radiology rotas.

About CLWRota

CLWRota helps departments construct and manage rotas quickly and accurately, while keeping both department and hospital staff informed. It also help assess the accuracy of rota plans over time.

Find out more about the development of CLWRota on the about page.

An Overview

CLWRota has been designed over 4 years with South Manchester University Hospital Trust to accommodate recurring sessional activity simply and powerfully. About 90% of normal rota activity can be assigned automatically after defining rules, or "templates", after which the system helps rota masters to quickly assign free consultants or trainees to uncovered sessions.

Apart from making rotas quick and easy to construct, the system also helps avoid errors as it will only allow one person to be in one place at a time. The system also allows support staff or rota masters to quickly and accurately assign staff to sessions in the case of last-minute changes to requirements, and can provide email and text message alerts of these events to the staff affected by them.

Because CLWRota is a web application changes to the Rota can be viewed by anyone with web access and permission to see that information. Theatre managers and staff in other departments will use the web view of the Rota to keep up-to-date, and trainees and consultants can keep themselves abreast of changes to their schedules as often as they would like.

CLWRota also has powerful reporting capabilities, providing comprehensive reports on the activity of the department over time, including detailed activity reports which are invaluable trainee records.

Support for CLWRota is provided on an ongoing basis. We are committed to making sure that your Rota runs smoothly.
