Smart, Responsive Scheduling for Emergency Departments
Emergency departments move fast. Your scheduling should too. Our emergency department software helps you keep triage, fast-track and resus staffed safely around the clock. Build fair rosters for consultants, registrars, nurses and support staff, then react in seconds when things change. Sick calls, surges, or code situations? You’ll have live coverage views and instant notifications to respond quickly.
Core Schedule was founded by our CEO, an Emergency Consultant who experienced these challenges firsthand. Originally built for emergency departments, our platform has been designed from the ground up to meet the unique demands of this high-pressure environment, making it the most intuitive and reliable rostering solution for emergency care teams.

It means faster fills, less admin, and clear audit trails when you need them. Explore staff self-service to find out more.
