Salary benchmarks

Our take

Patchwork offers doctors a mobile app through which they can find and book shifts instantly, and hospitals a bespoke staffing platform to control their own hiring processes rather than using expensive locum agencies.

The financial woes of the NHS are rarely out of the news, while its staffing crisis continues to escalate amid growing demand for healthcare. Currently, doctors looking for temporary NHS shifts tend to use locum agencies to find and fill roles, costing the NHS £3 billion every year.

The founders of Patchwork have an intimate knowledge of the problems faced by the NHS in these areas. The app itself was developed through a public-private partnership with Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust, which became the pilot site.

The company is seeking to integrate their service into standard staffing practices and have been helped in this regard by teaming up with Allocate to deliver more interoperability for NHS staffing.
