Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability

- Approach to resilience
- We deploy our applications to at least two independent data centres (availability zones). Our database cluster includes a writer and a hot replica, also living within separate availability zones. This means that we always have redundancy as there is at least two copies of our application and database, and both are configured with automatic fail-over. We have automatic backups / snapshots enabled allowing us to quickly rollback the database to any point in time within the last seven days, which protects us from ransomware attacks.

Covid-19 recovery
My Locum Manager (MLM) and Covid-19 recovery. The MLM platform was heavily adopted at the start of Covid-19 this was supported by some rapid feature development to aid health care organisations with the additional pressure they faced. Due to the time saving and efficiency benefits that the platform provided and the digital transformation it implemented, the feature platform continues to be utilised to support Covid-19 recovery. It provides health care organisations with tools that support: • remote working, • scheduling and redeployment of the temporary workforce • visibility of staff credentials • shift booking of temporary staff and covering of absences with temporary staff. At the start of the pandemic, tools like this were essential to support health care organisations to deliver safe care. Now that the Covid-19 recovery is well underway, these tools continue to be used as the benefits continue to be seen even though the threat level has subsided. Whether it be the resource planning of vaccination campaign and the suitability of the workforce to deliver against it or making sure the workforce are working off the most up to date guidance and protocols, MLM provides robust tools to ensure that people can access temporary staff and match them to available shifts. With Covid-19 transforming how health care organisations operate, with an increase in remote working, the need to log more checks, scheduling the workforce into other services, the feature rich MLM platform supports health care organisations with Covid-19 recovery by providing tools for health care organisations to better access temporary staff to meet increasing demand and work smarter with robust systems in place to support any potential future challenges.
