Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care chooses Allocate Optima to strengthen workforce resilience

Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, a leading provider of specialist palliative and end-of-life care across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, has chosen Allocate Optima to modernise its workforce management and strengthen support for staff and volunteers delivering compassionate care. 

With more than 340 staff and 1,600 volunteers supporting over 4,500 people each year, the hospice provides a wide range of services, from inpatient and community-based palliative care to Living Well Centres, bereavement support, and hospice-at-home services. But behind this vital work, managing rosters had become increasingly complex, often relying on manual processes and disconnected systems. 

Driving change for better staff and patient outcomes 

Recognising the need for a smarter, more scalable approach, Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care sought a solution that could ease administrative pressure, improve visibility, and unlock wider benefits across patient services. Allocate Optima was selected to provide both immediate improvements and long-term transformation, powered by flexible API integration that enables a seamless end-to-end workflow. This ensures staff can spend more time focusing on care, not administration. 

Key benefits the hospice is unlocking with Allocate Optima 

1. Automated, Fair Rostering No more manual spreadsheets. Shifts are allocated based on staff availability, skills, and compliance requirements, ensuring balance and reducing admin time. 
2. Real-Time Visibility Live dashboards give managers instant oversight of staffing coverage across hospice sites, enabling proactive adjustments and quicker decision-making. 
3. Empowered Teams Staff can manage their schedules more easily, boosting clarity, reducing stress, and improving work-life balance. 
4. Integration & Future-Proof Flexibility Through its flexible API approach, Allocate Optima integrates seamlessly with other systems. This not only reduces duplication and manual effort but also unlocks a true end-to-end workforce workflow, giving leaders the insight and agility to respond to changing demand across hospice services. 

A strategic investment in compassionate care 

For Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, adopting Allocate Optima is about more than efficiency. It’s part of a forward-looking strategy to support their workforce, build resilience, and equip teams with the tools to meet growing demand for specialist care. By embracing digital workforce transformation, the hospice is ensuring its staff and volunteers can continue delivering care with confidence, dignity, and compassion, both today and in the future.
