Goal of the collaboration
Help secondary-care rota managers create, manage and fill thousands of shifts within a rolling rota in a matter of minutes — instead of weeks or months.
Lantum is a UK healthcare platform that makes it easier for the NHS to mobilise its workforce, and for clinicians to work more flexibly.

The product
Templates that turn weeks of scheduling into a few clicks
02
Apply it anywhere
The same template applies to any site, staff type and period in a single flow, with the right defaults pre-filled.
03
Fill thousands of shifts at once
Shifts are generated and allocated in bulk, so months of scheduling are ready in about an hour instead of two weeks.
My contribution
- Worked side by side with the product manager, engineers and stakeholders to take ideas from conception to production
- Explored early-stage concepts as well as narrowly defined deliverables
- Partnered with the product manager on research to measure impact, test ideas and validate assumptions
- Created the research plan, ran interviews and tests
- Designed the final UI and documentation for development
- Took part in design reviews and improved the design system, copy, accessibility and brand application
Outcome
The rolling rota feature was released in July 2022.
- The first 20 users needed one hour on average to create and fill a 6-month rolling rota, compared with two weeks before
- Every secondary-care rota manager working with Lantum created and applied at least one template
“We had a very challenging deadline. Edmond was always calm, kept the focus on improving the flows, design and ways of working — his consistency in bringing new solutions was impressive.”
