Salary benchmarks
Our take
Patchwork offers doctors a mobile app through which they can find and book shifts instantly, and hospitals a bespoke staffing platform to control their own hiring processes rather than using expensive locum agencies.
The financial woes of the NHS are rarely out of the news, while its staffing crisis continues to escalate amid growing demand for healthcare. The founders of Patchwork have an intimate knowledge of the problems faced by the NHS in these areas. The app itself was developed through a public-private partnership with Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust, which became the pilot site.
The company is seeking to integrate its service into standard staffing practices and in 2024, acquired L2P, a job planning software enterprise. This partnership will result in a suite of tools to streamline workforce processes and address the workforce needs of more than 100,000 clinicians across both the NHS and private hospitals. Patchwork then, is at the forefront of the movement to fix the NHS staffing crisis.
