Healthcare template

Sessions, not shifts.

Clinics do not run on shifts, they run on booked sessions: 08:30-12:30 and 13:30-17:30, with reception open before the first patient and after the last. The template makes the lunch gap explicit instead of pretending it does not exist.

One row per staffing slot; ×N means that many people on that block. Times are local to the location. +1 marks a shift that ends the following calendar day.

Use this pattern when…

  • Your clinical staff work discrete morning and afternoon sessions around a genuine midday break.
  • Reception and clinical coverage have different hours and you keep forgetting the reception tail.
  • You are weekday-only and a 24/7 rotation template is noise for you.

What to watch out for

  • The unpaid midday gap makes this a split shift in several jurisdictions, with the premiums that implies. Check before treating it as a normal day.
  • Reception opening 30 minutes before the first session and closing 30 after the last is the part everyone under-schedules, and it is where patient complaints come from.
  • Session-based scheduling hides part-time fractions. A clinician doing six sessions a week is 0.6 FTE — make sure your hours cap reflects that rather than a nominal 40.

From CSV to a live schedule

Three steps, no data entry.

The download is not a PDF you print and pin up. Its columns are the ones Weekwright's schedule importer reads, so the file you edit in Excel is the file you upload.

  1. 1

    Swap in your team

    Replace the placeholder names in the Employee column with your staff. Leave Day, Start, End, and Position alone — those are what the importer maps.

  2. 2

    Upload it

    Drag the file onto the schedule page. Every row is previewed with its detected columns before anything is created, so a bad cell is a warning, not a surprise.

  3. 3

    Tell the AI what changed

    “Maya is off Thursday, cover it”. The agent repairs the week against your real availability, skills, and compliance rules instead of you re-editing the grid.
