Capacity and Workload
See how work is distributed across your clinical and non-clinical workforce, where pressure is building and where capacity can be released. Plan fairly, transparently and at scale.
Simitive helps NHS trusts see their workforce clearly and plan it with confidence. A forward-looking model of your trust's activities, so leaders can see where capacity exists, understand what services cost to deliver, and plan the people, investment and change your strategy will need. Proven at scale across higher education, and now working with the NHS.
Simitive does not replace clinical judgement. It strengthens it.
What Simitive lets you do
A single ward, a department, a division or the whole trust - all in the same model.
where capacity exists and where teams are under real pressure, across wards, departments and the whole trust.
what services cost to deliver, what drives those costs, and where agency and bank spend is avoidable.
productivity and utilisation across comparable teams, departments and specialties.
growth, service changes, new models of care and workforce restructuring - multi-year, multi-department, before you commit.
how changing demand, skill mix and new ways of working may reshape your workforce requirements.
recruitment, workforce development and investment ahead of need, not in response to crisis.
How it works
Simitive starts with the work your trust does. We model your activities and care settings, work out the resource each one requires, and build the total capacity needed to deliver. We then set that against the people and resource you have, now and across the planning horizon ahead.
The result is a forward view of capacity, cost, leverage and workforce requirement - grounded in how your trust actually works, and ready for the decisions leadership already needs to make.
Designed to work across wards, departments and all areas of the trust without adding to the time clinicians spend away from patients.
The decisions it supports
Whether a department or specialty needs additional clinical resource over the next planning period.
How skill mix and staffing ratios are working across teams, and what a shift toward safer, more productive models would take.
What the trust will need, in people and resource, to deliver its clinical strategy and meet demand.
Whether a service change, a new pathway or a restructuring will release capacity or add cost - before you commit.
The true cost of temporary staffing, so agency and bank spend can be planned for and reduced, not just reported on.
The platform
Four products, configured for healthcare, that work on their own and even better together.
See how work is distributed across your clinical and non-clinical workforce, where pressure is building and where capacity can be released. Plan fairly, transparently and at scale.
Understand what services cost to deliver, how that changes with demand and structural shifts, and what it means for your budgets, business cases and financial planning.
Support better conversations about contribution, development and the workforce you will need. Streamline appraisals and lift engagement across the trust.
Bring time, people and resource commitments into one plan. See who is delivering what, when and where, balanced against the capacity you actually have.
Demand is rising, services are shifting to the community, and new models of care are changing what the workforce needs to look like. Simitive shows where capacity exists, where gaps are growing, and how service changes will reshape staffing requirements - so investment can be planned on evidence.
Simitive integrates with ESR, finance and BI systems to keep data consistent, and models your activities rather than patient records - so it has limited to no dependency on clinical or patient data. It sits alongside your existing systems, respects your IG standards and carries a minimal IT footprint. That keeps regulatory risk and disruption low.
For some trusts, agency spend reduction is the immediate driver. For others it is capacity planning, business cases or service redesign. Either way, Simitive becomes a capability your trust keeps.
Real partnership
Proven at scale across higher education, and now supporting NHS trusts as they plan capacity, cost and workforce for the years ahead.
Every trust is different. We take the time to understand how yours works, so we never treat any two clients the same.
We stay with you beyond implementation - from modelling and analysis through to engagement and the conversations that follow.
The goal is not more information. It is better decisions, made with greater clarity, consistency and confidence.
Getting started
There is no need to start everywhere at once. Begin where the question is sharpest - a single department, specialty or service. Prove the value there, then extend the same forward-looking view across the trust.
