4,000 hours saved annually, freeing time to focus on frontline patient care.

Newcastle Hospitals, in line with the NHS People Plan, sought to optimize "time to care" while maintaining a sustainable workforce. To achieve this, they turned to intelligent automation, which streamlined administrative processes and improved employee morale. Through the creation of an online HR portal and the use of bots, Newcastle automated transactional activities, such as onboarding and managing forms. This implementation, powered by an Oracle-based Electronic Staff Record (ESR) solution, has resulted in significant time savings, with up to 4,000 hours saved annually. Newcastle Hospitals continues to prioritize frontline patient care by empowering staff to become bot creators and leveraging intelligent automation's compatibility with various applications.
