Emergency departments run on shift work, annualised rotas, frequent swaps, and locum cover. EDRota was designed from day one around these realities — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Purpose-built for emergency departments. Every feature designed around real clinical workflows.
Three views for every workflow — staff-by-date, shift-by-date, and calendar. Built for shift work and annualised rotas.
Staff give away, pick up, or swap shifts peer-to-peer. Handles the frequent swaps and last-minute changes that EDs demand.
Real-time shift coverage, PA breakdowns, and leave tracking. Managers see staffing patterns as they happen, not after the fact.
Daily handover notes, announcements, and leave records — scoped to your department. Everyone stays in the loop.
Export rotas as CSV, styled Excel, or JSON — instant download with colours preserved. Ready for payroll or compliance.
Role-based permissions, PIN identity for shared department computers, shift templates, and a complete audit trail.
Utterly pragmatic. No training manuals — if you can read a spreadsheet, you can use EDRota.
One rota, three ways to look at it. Detailed puts staff in columns and dates in rows — see everyone's week at a glance. Simple flips it: shift types in columns, so you instantly see who's covering each slot. Calendar gives you the familiar month grid with shift cards per day.
The reality of ED life: people need to swap shifts constantly. EDRota's marketplace lets staff post shifts to give away, claim open shifts, or negotiate peer-to-peer swaps — taking the admin burden off managers.
Managers shouldn't have to export a spreadsheet to know if tonight is understaffed. Live dashboards show coverage patterns, workload distribution, and leave utilisation as they happen.
Every shift change, every swap, every approval — fully tracked in a timeline view. Staff see their own shift history at a glance. Managers and admins get a detailed department-wide log for compliance and accountability.
EDRota is designed by an active Emergency Medicine consultant with hands-on experience across multiple countries and continents. Every decision is rooted in pragmatism, not theory.
Designed by a practising Emergency Medicine consultant who lives the reality of shift work every week.
Check your rota on the bus, swap a shift from the break room. Every screen works on every device.
Shaped by hands-on emergency care experience in Shanghai, Dubai, and the UK. No single-market assumptions.
“I built EDRota because every rota tool I used in Shanghai, Dubai, and the UK was either a spreadsheet someone emailed around, or an enterprise system designed by people who've never worked a night shift. I wanted something simple, pragmatic, and built for the people who actually do the work.”
Replace the spreadsheets, the WhatsApp groups, and the whiteboard. Your department deserves a tool built by someone who understands.
