Meridian gives clinical and operational leaders a single, current view of how the medical workforce is deployed — and where the gaps between capacity and demand are about to open up.
Meridian connects job plans, session templates, demand, leave and on-call into a single model — so clinical and operational leaders work from the same current picture of the workforce.
Job plans, session templates and live rotas in one model. Who is contracted to do what, where, and when — without a spreadsheet in sight.
Surface gaps in cover before they become Friday-afternoon problems. Identify the right consultant for each session against the constraints that actually matter.
From job-plan reviews to elective recovery planning — every conversation about the workforce starts from the same trusted, current picture of reality.
ATLAS is the methodology Meridian implements. It was developed inside the NHS by a consultant clinician — covering Programmed Activities, session allocation, consultant-of-the-week patterns, leave impact, cover groups, on-call rotations, and a coverage classification taxonomy.
It is the reason Meridian behaves like a clinical tool rather than a generic workforce dashboard. The technology platform carries the security, multi-tenancy and audit trail. ATLAS carries the clinical truth.
Julian Barker, NHS consultant and Meridian co-founder, walks through what Meridian looks like, how the ATLAS methodology is reflected in the product, and what a workforce conversation feels like when everyone is working from the same picture.
Meridian is built on the workflows clinical teams already use — session templates, job plans, on-call rotas, leave — and connects them so the picture stays consistent and current.
Meridian is operational and in active engagement with a major NHS teaching hospital as its founding clinical partner. We are working through a structured, governance-led pathway designed to fit NHS information governance — not bypass it.
Working under an agreed Data Sharing Agreement with our founding partner Trust. Defined scope, clinical evaluation, IG-led.
Named clinical users, defined specialty scope, formal evaluation against agreed success criteria. Pen testing, CE+ and DSPT alignment in parallel.
Full SaaS deployment, broader user access, supported by formal service levels. Open to a small number of additional NHS Trust partners.
If you're a Medical Director, Chief Digital Officer, COO or workforce lead at an NHS Trust — or you work alongside one — we'd welcome a conversation about what Meridian could mean for your service.
