Senior nurses and operations teams are then using real-time information from SafeCare to get an organisation-wide view of staffing levels and staffing needs. This enables them to take proactive and informed decisions before turning to agency cover.

SafeCare has been awarded an endorsement statement by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in relation to its guidelines for Safe Staffing (SG1). You can read about the endorsement here.
