INTRODUCTION
The Severnside Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) service rotas cover all clinical and operational staff who work in the service; they include both the Weekday Professional Line (WDPL),out of hours (OOHs) and System CAS (SCAS) teams. The rota is rolled on a four-week basis, with people having regular “default” shifts which they work in a fourweek pattern. All shifts in the operational rota, SCAS ‘Severnside’ shifts and the WDPL clinical rota are planned to be filled with employed co-owners. Gaps may exist in the rota due to sickness, annual leave, training, or vacancy. These gaps are managed on a week-by-week basis and are covered by a combination of additional hours, bank staff or locums. The OOHs clinical rota is covered with a combination of employed and self-employed; GPs, nurses, ECPs and Pharmacists. Approximately 25-30% of hours are covered by employed clinicians. The planned rota split is circa 55-60% GPs and 40-45% nurse and AHPs.
