Developed in collaboration with all five NHS Trust providers – East and North Hertfordshire Trust, The Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust, Hertfordshire Partnership University Trust, Hertfordshire Community Trust, and West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals Trust – this innovative platform marks a major step forward in how we understand and manage our healthcare workforce. It’s the first system-wide dashboard of its kind, built on a secure, GDPR-compliant foundation and recognised by NHS England.
Accessible via desktop or mobile, Qlik Cloud enables users to explore and compare data across staff groups, roles, headcount, sickness absence, turnover, vacancies, equality metrics, and financial costs. It helps identify patterns and trends to support strategic and efficient workforce solutions.
Built with ease of use, security, and collaboration in mind, the platform offers:
- Centralised data access – all workforce data in one place.
- Advanced analytics – spot trends and patterns to inform strategic planning.
- User-friendly interface – navigate and visualise data with ease.
By providing a consistent way to collect and report workforce data, Qlik Cloud gives us a clearer picture of our healthcare workforce. This means we can collaborate with partners and providers to develop long-term, skills-based workforce plans that are aligned with population needs, and ultimately improving patient care.
The platform is already being used to:
- link elective care activity and staffing efficiency through informed evidence-based decisions
- support equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives
- link workforce data with activity and finance for better service design.
Early feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive:
“To see a whole system dashboard under one platform is amazing.”
“The EDI dashboard is very easy to understand and can bring efficiency across the whole system broken down by Trust.”
“Looking forward to the continued development of the Workforce planning dashboard, particularly as it expands and covers more areas (e.g. Primary Care workforce data).”
