Liaison Workforce began working with Stockport NHS Foundation Trust to provide the Trust’s HR team and managers with a flexible digital platform in order to deliver learning and development innovation, as well as people support.

Within 12 months, Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust achieved an overall reduction in their medical locum spend of over 40% and a decrease in rates by more than 20%, year on year, through reduction in consultant core rates, consultant unsocial rates and staff grade core rates.

Liaison has been working with trusts in the North East and North Cumbria to develop Flexishift – a collaborative locum bank to share doctors across the region, reduce reliance on agency locum workers and benefit from reduced rate cost savings.

Following the implementation of People Analytics at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, the next challenge was to support and engage operational leads and HR Business Partners, so they could realise the benefits of powerful people data.

Stockport NHS Foundation Trust has been working in partnership with Liaison Workforce since 2013 – successfully decreasing temporary worker spend via a tech-enabled in house bank, and reducing the reliance upon agency whilst improving visibility of overall spend, as set out within the NHS People Plan.

In 2021, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust partnered with Liaison Workforce to digitise its lateral flow tests, a key element in the ongoing management of Covid-19 at the Trust.
