CLWRota

CLWRota helps departments at more than 120 UK NHS Trusts plan, operate and report on anaesthetic activity by providing powerful online tools for inter and extra-departmental communication and coordination. CLWRota helps coordinate more than 17,000 anaesthetists.

Introduction to CLWRota

CLWRota 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 helps 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.
