No. We are not an outsourcing company. Our goal is to listen to your desired outcomes, accelerate your progress, and leave you in a position to maintain that advanced level into the future, with legacy tools and expertise in place. Additional support and training would then be available through our SARD Academy Service, if needed, for new starters or other requirements.

As part of our programme, doctors are able to clearly see the benefits of job and workforce planning across their specialty and understand how this data can be compared to demand data within our tools. We can then demonstrate why it’s such an essential part of the process. Additionally, we make the processes for the doctors as straightforward as possible without compromising on data quality.

No. We start by listening. We recognise that every Trust is unique, so our Workforce Optimisation service is highly customisable, with a range of different services depending on what is required. We work closely with each Trust to tailor our approach, ensuring you reach the desired outcomes at a pace that suits you.

Yes, the Trust does need to have a job planning system in place. SARD can provide an industry-leading job planning system as part of our programme if required. However, if the Trust already has a system under contract or one that is widely adopted, there is no need to switch suppliers to use our Workforce Optimisation services as they are entirely system agnostic.
