“CPFT used NHS SBS for the implementation of ESR Self-Service to provide expertise and guidance on the functionality of the system. The support they gave the Project Team has been paramount to its success. Their expertise, support and guidance has given the team the confidence to raise and escalate issues at the time and issues that arise could be actioned and dealt with quickly.“

Workforce Consultancy & ESR Self-Service Brochure
Our workforce consultancy solutions add real and increasing value to the NHS so that it can refocus investment and resource elsewhere.
They help enhance NHS employment processes from repetitive, transactional, and often paper-based work to transformational projects that drive down operational costs, increase productivity, and deliver workforce efficiencies.
Successfully Streamlining
NHS SBS has so far helped over 130 NHS healthcare providers streamline ESR, bringing about notable workforce efficiencies in processes and helping to deliver operational costs through implementation.
Led by Sean Hopkins, the NHS SBS Workforce Consultancy team is partnering with some of the biggest NHS trusts to review their workforce roadmaps. Through this work, we are seeing time and again that multiple systems and processes are used for HR, workforce data, learning and development, and much more.
Understanding your needs
ESR is used by almost every NHS organisation in the country, but the reality is that it is not being used to anywhere near its full potential. Our team were involved in the original rollout of ESR throughout the NHS and it is with this specialist knowledge we understand how to maximise existing technology and implement transformational workforce efficiencies.
The reason for this is that most NHS employers only use the HR and Payroll modules and ignore other functionality, such as…
- Base Establishment Controls
- Manager Self-Service (MSS)
- Oracle Learning Management (OLM) and e-Learning
- Career Management
- Performance Management Plans
With digital technology playing an increasingly important role in ensuring a happy and efficient NHS workforce, existing solutions that are already available could help NHS organisations align with the 2024/25 priorities and operational planning guidance in supporting the digitisation of services and levelling up the digital maturity of provider organisations, across all sectors.
Our team
Some of which were originally employed to lead the ambitious rollout of ESR – trained users, migrated data from HR and payroll platforms, and implemented the system effectively.
Our scope
Scalability and subject matter expertise make us perfect partners to review, suggest, implement and train on how to get the most out of ESR.
Our process
Our Project and Change Management teams carry out everything required to successfully implement the ESR Manager Self-Service functionality.
