About CLWRota
CLWRota is a secure, encrypted online service that manages the rotas of anaesthetics and radiology departments. The service makes rotas quick to construct and easy to adjust, and provides a centralised data source that is always up-to-date.
The integrated online leave book and multi-week on-call tools ensure that the weekly rotas generated from job plan templates reflect leave absences and the effects of on-call activity.
Individual password-protected logins provide consultants and trainees with access to their own rotas and other relevant information. Email and text messaging alerts are used to advise staff of recent changes in the rota that affect them.
As changes are tracked throughout the life-cycle of a week's rota, the resulting data provide a true reflection of the department's activity. Week-on-week departmental statistics can be viewed together with individual activity reports. Trainee reports give details of supervision and training modules.
CLWRota has been in development since early 2005, when discussions began between Dr Neil Braude, then Clinical Director of the University Hospital of South Manchester (UHSM). It has since been actively developed in collaboration with Dr Braude and Dr Nick Wisely of UHSM where the departmental rota has been run on CLWRota since May 2007.
As of June 2010, CLWRota is in use at 21 hospitals.
