NHS At Work review
NHS rota workflows cover compliance, leave, swaps and temporary staffing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
NHS At Work brings rota creation, workforce planning and staffing workflows together for NHS organisations. Managers can create compliant rota patterns, track staff availability, manage leave and absence, and review demand and capacity. Staff can access rota updates through the web and a mobile app. Its enterprise focus makes it a closer fit for NHS organisations coordinating complex rosters than for small teams seeking a simple shift calendar.
Compliance and exception handling are central to the product. Working Time Directive and contract compliance warnings support roster review, while exception reporting can feed approval and payment or time off in lieu workflows. The platform also supports shift swaps and unfilled-shift workflows for temporary staffing. TempRE and Electronic Staff Record (ESR) are listed integrations, a useful fit for organisations working with those systems. Liaison Workforce is the delivery partner and supplier, providing implementation and support.
Pricing is based on contacting sales; the published plans distinguish software and upgrades for 1–500 users from additional-user licensing above 500. There is no free plan. NHS organisations should consider it when they need connected rota, exception and temporary staffing processes, and should weigh whether its enterprise-oriented scope fits their operation. Teams looking for a lightweight scheduling tool or transparent self-serve pricing may prefer to compare alternatives. Rota patterns can be created within its integrated rostering area or imported into another roster system.
