The team behind better healthcare.
We're a team of clinicians, engineers and workforce experts building the tools we always wished existed — so rotas fill themselves, staff get paid on time, and healthcare teams can focus on patients instead of paperwork.
Patchwork is the end-to-end workforce platform for healthcare, built by, with and for the NHS.
We started because rostering, filling shifts and managing a healthcare workforce were harder than they needed to be. Spreadsheets, phone calls and paper forms were standing between clinicians and the wards they were trying to staff.
Today, Patchwork supports NHS trusts, ICBs and the clinicians who work within them — with rostering, staff banks, agency management, job planning and appraisals in one connected suite.
Healthcare work shouldn't be harder than it needs to be.
We exist to give that time back. Not by replacing the people who run healthcare, but by giving them tools that finally keep pace with the job.
Numbers that mean something.
One connected platform, instead of six disconnected systems.
Rostering, staff banks, agency management, job planning and appraisals — built to work together, so a trust's workforce data lives in one place, not five.
Explore the platformFrom a rota problem to a workforce platform.
Patchwork starts at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as a simple way for resident doctors to fill locum shifts within their own trust — built by clinicians frustrated with the status quo.
An open staff bank with digital pay and built-in compliance rolls out to trusts across England, reducing reliance on expensive agency staff.
Full rostering, leave management and exception reporting join the suite — giving trusts one management system for their entire workforce.
Patchwork acquires L2P to bring job planning and appraisals into the platform, forming a fully integrated workforce planning and management suite.
Over 125,000+ clinicians and £250m+ in workforce savings later, we're still building alongside the people who use Patchwork every shift.
What we hold ourselves to.
