Patchwork is a digital platform that connects clinicians directly to shifts at healthcare organizations. It aims to reduce the over £3 billion spent annually on agency staff in the UK. Built by doctors and managers, Patchwork allows instant booking of shifts, digital credentialing, automated payment tracking, and data analytics to increase staffing levels, improve patient safety, and reduce agency spending. Case studies at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and Aintree University Hospital found Patchwork filled over 90% of shifts, saved over £1.2 million annually, and increased the pool of available clinicians by 500% compared to traditional medical staffing methods. Patchwork now works with over 7 NHS trusts across 21 hospitals and books over 7,500 shifts per month.
