About the course.

Drawing up rotas for staff working hours is often complicated, time-consuming and business-critical. This course aims to give you knowledge, tools and methods to succeed with rota management and scheduling. You will learn different rota models, how to develop goals, guidelines and rules, minimise negative health effects and involve staff in the process.

As the person responsible for scheduling, you have a great responsibility to ensure that the organisation's rota planning achieves the right quality, that finances are balanced and that staff have healthy working hours that do not break laws and agreements. In addition, the organisation's needs for patient safety, competence assurance and efficient use of resources must be met. This course is about how to succeed with scheduling. Theoretical reviews are mixed with practical exercises through group work and discussions. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your challenges with the other participants and experts in rota management.
