ADE Savings. Delivered.

The Challenge

In July 2023, North East London NHS Foundation Trust were keen to begin an Agency Direct Employment (ADE) and efficiency savings project, with the aim of increasing their ADE engagement and compliance.

In turn, it was anticipated that this would increase savings at the Trust, reduce missed savings and result in better agency provider management.

The Solution

Liaison Workforce provided best practice TempRE training on how to book ADE agency workers. A project plan was issued with a monthly meeting booked.

Liaison issued the Trust’s ADE Mandate to all agencies to confirm that all future agency workers provided to the Trust must be ADE. Reporting was provided to highlight all standard placement workers, shift length, and cost for the Trust to target.

Standard Placement Alerts were set up to notify when any new standard placement bookings were made and the tools and processes to manage Agency Direct Employment and Standard Placement Bookings were provided.

Liaison trained all Trust agency bookers through our ‘Liaison Academy’ which highlights best practice, what to watch out for, and how to negotiate with agencies to ensure that any future cost is kept to a minimum.
