What it is

The week as a grid you type into — one shift per person per day. Leave that cannot overlap itself (the schema refuses the second request), decided with a recorded reason. Credentials — registrations, BLS cards — that announce their expiry instead of lapsing quietly. People: probation with an end date and a dated decision, never a silent roll-over; transfers between departments or branches signed by the releasing and the receiving side, two different people, and moved on their date; appointment, confirmation, increment, transfer, experience and relieving letters from the one staff record, numbered and never edited after issue. Appraisals: self-rating, the department head’s rating, a calibrated final rating and sign-off before any increment, and the key roles with who could step in. Registers: the employee, attendance and wage registers laid out from what is already recorded, and every contractor’s licence against the workers on site.

How it works

Type the weekThe rota is a grid — one shift per person per day. You type into it rather than dragging cards around.
Decide leaveApprove or refuse, and a refusal carries its reason. A second request that overlaps the first is refused by the schema, not by whoever notices.
Keep the credentials and privilegesRegistrations and BLS cards with their expiry dates; the desk announces the ones running out instead of letting them lapse quietly. Privileges record which procedures each clinician is cleared for, with the evidence and the expiry, and TheatreFlow reads them when a declared procedure is booked.
Probation, transfers and lettersOn People, start a probation when someone joins; it comes onto the list a month before it ends, and Decide confirms, extends (with a reason and a new end) or does not confirm. A transfer is signed by the releasing and the receiving side, two different people, and moves the person on its date. Draft a letter from the staff record, read it, and Issue it under your name; an issued letter is numbered and never edited, only voided.
Appraisals, successors and the registersOn Appraisals, open a cycle with the year’s KRAs: each person rates their own year, their department head rates them, and HR signs off a final rating (saying why if it moves the head’s); the increment is entered only after sign-off, and its letter is drafted from it. Key roles list who could step in. On Registers, download the employee, attendance or wage register as CSV, and keep each contractor’s licence and headcount against the workers on site.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not yet block the schedule on a lapsed credential — v1 makes expiry loudly visible; enforcement arrives with the SlotGrid link.

It never invalidates past care records.

It never decides a rating or an increment — people do; it only keeps the order.

The registers follow the records it keeps; the form each state notifies is yours to check them against.

Questions clinics ask

What does StaffDesk do?

Rotas, leave and credentials — and letters, probation, transfers, appraisals and the labour registers for the whole team. The week as a grid you type into — one shift per person per day. Leave that cannot overlap itself (the schema refuses the second request), decided with a recorded reason. Credentials — registrations, BLS cards — that announce their expiry instead of lapsing quietly. People: probation with an end date and a dated decision, never a silent roll-over; transfers between departments or branches signed by the releasing and the receiving side, two different people, and moved on their date; appointment, confirmation, increment, transfer, experience and relieving letters from the one staff record, numbered and never edited after issue. Appraisals: self-rating, the department head’s rating, a calibrated final rating and sign-off before any increment, and the key roles with who could step in. Registers: the employee, attendance and wage registers laid out from what is already recorded, and every contractor’s licence against the workers on site.

What data does StaffDesk read and write?

StaffDesk reads staff profiles, rotas, attendance, payslips, departments and writes rotas, leave, credential records, staff letters, probation decisions, transfers, appraisals, succession plans, contract-labour records. Its data class is No PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does StaffDesk deliberately not do?

It does not yet block the schedule on a lapsed credential — v1 makes expiry loudly visible; enforcement arrives with the SlotGrid link. It never invalidates past care records. It never decides a rating or an increment — people do; it only keeps the order. The registers follow the records it keeps; the form each state notifies is yours to check them against.
