Moving to Allocate – rollout of new Trust rostering system

September 6, 2022

In September our contract for our current Temporary Staffing system (TempRE) for medical colleagues will cease and we will be moving to a new platform known as Allocate.

Allocate is a new, fully featured end to end rostering platform designed with colleagues in mind, focused on supporting colleagues and rota coordinators to work together seamlessly to develop rosters that meet our safe staffing requirements.

Whilst the move to rollout Allocate to Nursing specialties will take a phased approach starting with BMEC Theatres, D21, D25, Eliza Tinsley, McCarthy ward and Leasowes in September, colleagues involved in medical temporary staffing (Bank and Agency) across the Trust will go live on Allocate on Monday 12 September.

Colleagues involved in temporary medical staffing are advised:

  • Any shifts taking place prior to Monday 12 September will still need to be authorised via TempRE before the contract expires at end of September.
  • Any shifts worked after the Monday 12 September go live must be authorised/processed via the new allocate system.
  • Failure to authorise or process shifts before Monday 26 September may result in late payments.

Full guidance on how shifts can be booked, processed and authorised will be shared in the communications bulletin.

If you have any questions please contact your group rota co-ordinators or alternatively contact the Allocate team on swbh.allocatequeries-helpdesk@nhs.net
