Scheduling for your pharmacy

  • Custom shift types for on-call, night and weekend duty
  • The conflict check reports double bookings and absences as you assign
  • Several branches in one account, each with its own departments

From shift types to the phone in your team's pocket

  1. Step 01 · Shift types

    On-call duty is a shift of its own

    Counter, dispensary, on-call, night and weekend duty are shift types you define yourself, each with its own hours and colour. Night duty then sits in the plan as a shift that has to be covered, not as a note in the margin.

    • Every duty carries its own hours, colour and label
    • Recurring duties are defined once and applied from then on
  2. Step 02 · Weekly plan

    The week comes together in one go

    You drag shifts onto people, and a weekly template fills in the recurring part in a single step. Uncovered shifts stay marked as uncovered instead of simply looking empty.

    • Weekly templates for the part of the plan that repeats
    • Uncovered shifts are marked, not merely empty
  3. Step 03 · Checks

    The clash reports itself as you assign

    Assign someone a shift that collides with an absence, a stated unavailability or a second shift, and medishift says so straight away. You find out while you plan, not on the morning nobody is standing at the counter.

    • Double bookings and absences are checked as you assign
    • Stated unavailabilities are counted in
  4. Step 04 · Branches

    Several pharmacies in one account

    Main pharmacy and branches are managed centrally, each with its own departments and its own plan. Whoever covers at two sites appears in both plans, and the conflict check still sees both shifts.

    • Each branch keeps its own departments and shift plans
    • Someone covering two sites remains one person in the system
  5. Step 05 · Team

    The team sees the plan on their phone

    Your dispensing staff see their shifts in the mobile app, apply for open duties, submit vacation requests and state when they are unavailable. Changes to the plan reach them without anyone working the phone.

    • Open duties can be picked up by the team itself
    • Vacation requests and unavailabilities run through the same app

Before and after

Without a digital plan in the pharmacy

  • The plan hangs in the back office and holds until someone overwrites it.
  • On-call duty is a note in the margin rather than a shift.
  • Double bookings only surface on the morning of the shift.
  • Every branch keeps a spreadsheet of its own.
  • Anyone who wants to know their shift rings the pharmacy.

Who is this for?

  • The pharmacy on the high street

    One team covering counter, dispensary and on-call duty side by side, without wearing anyone out.

  • Branch groups

    Several sites, shared cover and the standing question of who is working where this week.

  • Hospital pharmacies

    Departments with hours of their own, in an operation that carries on through nights and weekends.

  • Mail order pharmacies

    Picking and advice in shifts, with peaks that pay no attention to opening hours.

Every employee, every branch, one list

Roles, departments and status sit with the person rather than in a second spreadsheet. Whoever covers at a branch stays the same person in the plan and in the conflict check.

  • Roles and departments belong to the person, not to the site.
  • Fixed working times are on file and checked as you plan.
  • The status shows who is active and who has been archived.

A shift becomes working time

The night duty that ran long shows up as a plus hour in the account instead of on a slip of paper. Target and actual sit side by side per day, and approval happens in the same list.

  • Target against actual sits side by side per day and per person.
  • Plus and minus hours flow into the overtime account by themselves.
  • Approval happens in the same list.
