The partnership means organisations that use Allocate\u2019s rostering and bank systems alongside Locum\u2019s Nest can now automatically publish hard to fill vacancies reducing the need to turn to the traditional locum agency route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locum\u2019s Nest has a clinical workforce of around 30,000 staff on its temporary staffing platform. The partnership means unfilled Allocate Bank duties, for Medical, Dental and AHP workers can be passed to Locum\u2019s Nest for fulfilment. Once a bank worker has been sourced, the worker information will be transferred back to Allocate solutions and booked to the duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the demand for clinical staffing outstripping supply many organisations seek to access as many sources of staff as possible. This partnership opens up another source of staff and provides Allocate customers with choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Wilson, CEO, Allocate said \u201cEvery month the NHS fills over 1.2 million temporary staffing shifts with internal NHS staff using our BankStaff software. Even so, with the global demand for clinical staff outstripping supply, our customers often have to use other sources to staff some hard to fill shifts. These colleagues come from temp staffing apps, outsourced bank providers or agencies. Through interoperability with partners like Locum\u2019s Nest we aim to do all we can to reduce the administrative overhead of accessing these sources of staff and most importantly, as has proved critical during the pandemic, ensuring that all staff booked are visible in the live roster so that organisations have a clear picture of all staff at any given time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Ahmed Shahrabani, Co-Founder of Locum\u2019s Nest, commented: \u201cThe integration with Allocate\u2019s market leading rostering solution for health and care organisations is a step further on our mission to support the NHS to work in a more transparent, collaborative manner, increase workforce engagement and improve care outcomes within our health service.&nbsp; NHS professionals currently working on the frontline need as much help as possible in arranging cover to resource patient care and this new collaboration will short circuit that process and swiftly deliver the urgent skills and experience to relevant wards and departments relieving the current resourcing pressures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Allocate software integration with all bank suppliers will be ready in 2021 with a number of Trusts actively preparing for it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Ends \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Notes to editors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Allocate Software<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allocate Software is a leading international provider of Human Capital Management solutions, supporting the operational and administrative needs of healthcare, defence and maritime sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the health and care sector, Allocate is enabling the delivery of safe and effective care at optimal cost, by helping organisations to have the right people in the right place at the right time.
