These are the problems practice managers and clinic owners face every day — and exactly what Leavely solves.
When you can't see absences coming, you end up booking expensive last-minute locum or agency cover. A single locum GP day can cost £1,500+ — and most practices have no visibility of what drives that spend.
CQC and GDC inspectors expect evidence of safe staffing. Without a digital system, practices rely on spreadsheets, emails, and paper diaries that are incomplete, inconsistent, and hard to audit.
Practice groups and multi-site clinics struggle to see who is off, who is available, and whether clinical cover is adequate — especially when relying on WhatsApp messages and shared spreadsheets.
Manage annual leave, sick leave, study leave, and compassionate leave across GPs, nurses, dentists, hygienists, receptionists, and support staff. Staff request leave from their phone. Managers approve in one click.
