Product Designer

Patchwork is Growing.

And we’re sure there’s room for you in this photo!

Backed by the Harvard Business Angels, partnered with the British Medical Journal and founded by former NHS Doctors, Patchwork is being brought to life by a talented and diverse team of designers, engineers, and implementers.

What we’re working on…

Here’s a quick video.

Patchwork connects Doctors directly with shifts. This is saving the NHS millions (and counting), makes healthcare workers happy and makes sure a doctor is there when you need one most.

You can think of Patchwork as a marketplace, one side Hospitals, other side Doctors.

  • For Hospitals: Patchwork helps hospitals save massive amounts of money by automating repetitive tasks and connecting doctors directly with their vacant shifts (cutting-out expensive Recruitment Agencies).
  • For Doctors: Patchwork enables doctors to join healthcare organisations that are local to them. They can browse available shifts, have relevant shifts recommended, book instantly and get paid on time.
