Planning Information
King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH) is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to a forthcoming Medical Workforce Rota Management Review. This exercise is being conducted as an informal engagement to gather insight and best practice from both peer NHS Trusts and experienced consultants who have delivered similar reviews. The purpose of this engagement is to explore: Approaches and methodologies adopted in implementing medical workforce rota reviews. Lessons learned from comparable workforce transformation programmes within other Trusts. Innovative solutions and tools that can improve efficiency, enhance sustainability, and align workforce planning with national benchmarks. How rota redesign can support the dual priorities of safeguarding patient safety and clinical training requirements, while also promoting staff wellbeing. The feedback from this informal engagement will help to shape KCH’s procurement strategy, specification, and evaluation criteria for the planned Medical Workforce Rota Management Review.
