A Problem Born of Tradition

In the world of healthcare, fixed rolling rotas have long been the standard for rostering resident doctors. While functional, these rigid systems often disregard the personal needs and life events of individual clinicians, leading to frustration and missed opportunities.

This was the situation faced by two clinicians who simply wanted time off for their wedding. Their request was met with resistance, deemed selfish for disrupting the established rota structure. It was a moment that highlighted the inadequacies of the traditional rostering system.

Inspiration for Change

Rather than accept the status quo, the pair decided to take matters into their own hands. They envisioned a system that could balance fairness with flexibility—a platform capable of incorporating everyone's scheduling requests while maintaining departmental efficiency.

Driven by a shared passion for equality and innovation, they set out to create what would eventually become dbRotas.

A Platform for Everyone

dbRotas is more than just a scheduling tool. It's a testament to the power of empathy and determination. By leveraging modern technology, dbRotas enables healthcare departments to create fair, efficient rotas that respect the needs of every team member.

What started as a solution to a personal challenge has grown into a platform that supports countless clinicians, ensuring no one has to choose between their personal life and professional responsibilities.
