Workforce support 

We provide workforce support to member practices to help manage short-term staffing pressures, planned absences and recruitment gaps. 

Support is available across a range of clinical and non-clinical roles, including: 

  • GPs  
  • Advanced nurse practitioners (ANPs)  
  • Practice nurses  
  • Healthcare assistants (HCAs)  
  • Pharmacists  
  • Patient coordinators  

Patient coordinators can support practices with: 

  • Patient registration  
  • Appointment management and call handling  
  • Reviewing patient history and previous test results  
  • Sending tasks and administrative support  

Practices are provided with access to Luna, a workforce management platform used to coordinate staffing and practice support requests across Brighton & Hove. 

The platform can be used for: 

  • Requesting bank shifts  
  • Requesting clinical or administrative cover  
  • Arranging cover for training or practice closures  
  • Booking Basic Life Support (BLS) training for practice staff  

This support helps practices maintain service continuity, improve workforce flexibility and streamline access to staffing support across member practices.
