Featured Success Story: NHS Dorset ICB

Our team of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) experts were contracted to undertake CHC 3- and 12-month reviews, in line with the NHS CHC Framework. As part of any contract, we routinely check that the ICB’s CHC processes and reviews are framework compliant, and that they meet the high performance expectations of the ICB.

Key outcomes: 

  • CHC assurance
  • CHC reviews audited
  • Provided reassurance to ICB

As a department, we can see the full benefits of the new system. Through fully utilising the outsourcing function, we now have better oversight and understanding of our rota gaps and locum spend. This, paired with our new safe staffing level guide, has resulted in a reduction of our locum use from 10.4 WTE to 5.2WTE in just 8 weeks – an overall saving of around £30,000 per month. The main driving factor for this improvement is the visibility that NHS At Work offers, with the outsourcing function allowing the two systems (Roster and TempRE) to interact. As the system has allowed us to reduce our need for locums, we have also seen a quicker uptake of shifts, more than halving the average time it takes to fill a locum shift to 52 hours
