People-centred scheduling: unlocking time and quality in care delivery

Join Narinder Hans (Deputy), Amanda Brooke and James Westwood Beere (Lifeways) to explore how digital rostering transformed care across 1,100 services and 10,000 staff. By replacing manual rotas with Deputy, Lifeways saved thousands of administrative hours, reduced agency reliance, and improved staff visibility. Building on this success, Deputy and Lifeways are now co-creating a micro-scheduling capability to address complex care needs, showcasing how people-centred technology can boost efficiency and innovation across the sector.
