Surgical Rostering and Allocation

Manage theatre access, on-call cover, and surgical allocations across your consultants, registrars, and surgical teams through a transparent system designed to balance demand, ensure clinical safety, and provide fair access across your entire department.

Built for the Way You Work

Theatre Allocation 

Surgical departments constantly manage competing demands for limited theatre time. Allocations often rely on manual processes, historical patterns, or negotiation, which can lead to perceived inequity and inefficiencies.

HosPortal embeds allocation rules directly into the rostering process, ensuring theatre sessions are distributed transparently based on agreed structures, availability, and demand. 

On-call and After Hours

On-call rosters must ensure safe coverage while remaining fair and sustainable across the team. Without structure, this often leads to uneven distribution and dissatisfaction.

HosPortal builds on-call rosters with full visibility of workload, frequency, and fairness. Gaps are identified early, and allocations are balanced consistently across the department.

Multi-specialty Coordination

Surgical departments often span multiple specialties, each with different requirements, priorities, and constraints. Coordinating these within a shared theatre environment adds complexity.

HosPortal provides a single system to manage all specialties, enabling coordinated planning while maintaining visibility and control at both specialty and department level.
