CloudStaff supports you to share bank and locum workforces to create a regional collaborative bank. It acts as a third line of defence after good rostering and internal bank staff fulfilment.
CloudStaff allows organisations to fill more shifts from a wider pool of available and known quality staff to significantly reduce agency spend as well as back office admin.
AllocatePay supports Cloudstaff and collaborative banks by taking the burden of payroll away and making payments for collaborative banks simpler and faster.

Improve efficiency
A shared workforce bank with intelligent workflow and rules takes the hard work out of matching and booking the right staff to available shifts or duties
Increase attractiveness
CloudStaff is flexible and increases the number of shifts available which makes working for a regional staff bank more attractive than agency
Reduce patient risk
Patients will experience greater continuity of care, from staff experienced in and familiar with their working environment
There is significant pressure on trusts financially and the big area to focus on is agency spend – we will never get it down to zero, but this is a great way to ensure that agency spend reduces and reduces significantly.
