Problem
Clinicians often rotate between hospitals and clinics without a centralized source of practical information about local facilities, staffing rates, and on‑the‑ground insights, leading to uncertainty and inefficiencies when starting new placements.
Solution
Handovers provides an online platform where NHS clinicians can create, share, and retrieve concise “handover” notes about roles, locations, and operational details. Users can contribute their own experiences—such as bike storage availability, night‑time food options, or typical locum rates—and browse contributions from peers to quickly gain context before starting a new rotation. The platform organizes handovers by role, specialty, and site, enabling searchable access to relevant insights. By fostering a community‑driven knowledge base, Handovers reduces the time spent rediscovering information and supports smoother transitions between placements.
Target Audience
Primary users are NHS doctors, nurses, medical students, and locum clinicians who regularly rotate between hospitals or clinics and need reliable, peer‑generated information about new work environments.
