How University Hospitals of North Midlands achieved 99% job planning compliance in one year

University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM) NHS Trust provides a wide range of acute, specialist and community services across Staffordshire, Lincolnshire and Worcestershire, including a dedicated children’s hospital in Stoke-on-Trent.

Historically, the trust had struggled with effective job planning, too often finding that its agreements were inconsistent and misaligned with the needs of the service. Following a comprehensive audit, trust leaders implemented an improved, technology-enabled job planning capability. This new structured approach made use of RLDatix’s JobPlan in order to relaunch job planning annually in a way that better aligned with wider business planning needs.
