Important Information
Why is Norfolk and Waveney ICS creating a digital flexible staff pool?
To help mitigate staff shortages and increase fill rates, Norfolk and Waveney ICB has partnered with Lantum, a staffing tool that makes it easier for you to ill shift gaps with clinicians from across your region.
To build resilience
Having access to a staff pool will make it easier for you to fill shifts – even when cancellations are made at the last minute. This helps you to deliver services effectively and take pressure off your existing staff. It will also make it easier to collaborate with nearby practices and PCNs, and share unused resources.
To save money
Norfolk and Waveney IC is covering the cost of creating the digital flexible staff pool. Lantum routinely charges a 1% processing fee when booking staff from the pool, however the Norfolk and Waveney ICB have allocated funding to cover this cost, meaning practices will not be required to pay this fee for the duration of the contract.
To reduce time spent on admin
Having one platform to manage all bookings reduces administration time significantly. With verified clinical governance documents on staff profiles, compliance is much easier to track. With automatic notifications, you no longer need to contact staff individually about shifts. Lantum consolidates statements, so you make just one payment rather than multiple. And, with the direct messaging tool, you can keep communication in one place and ensure all rota managers have full visibility.
What is Lantum?
Lantum is the UK’s leading digital staffing platform for primary care, connecting hubs and practices with clinical staff to fill rota gaps. Our software allows rota managers to post unfilled shifts, while our community of clinicians can search and apply for those shifts, all in one central location.
