Use this guide If a shift within a block is no longer needed, you can cancel it individually without removing the entire block.

Written by Sarah Murray

Steps

  1. Navigate to Shifts screen
    ​
    ​

    • Go to Shifts from the main navigation.

    • In the left-hand panel under All Shifts, click Blocks.


​

2. Select the block
Find the block you want to cancel and click the shift dates (the hyperlink) to open the block details.


​

3. Choose the shift to cancel
In the Actions column, click the Options downward arrow next to the shift you want to cancel.
​
​

4. Cancel the shift
From the dropdown, select Cancel Shift. A confirmation modal will appear.

5. Provide a reason
​
​

  • Select a Cancellation Reason from the dropdown menu.
    ​
    ​

  • (Optional) Add details in the Additional Information text box.
    ​
    ​

6. Confirm cancellation
Click the green Confirm button to cancel the selected shift.
​
​


Additional Information

  • Cancelling a single shift does not cancel the entire block. The remaining shifts will stay active and visible to locums.
    ​
    ​

  • If multiple shifts need to be cancelled, repeat the process for each shift.
    ​
    ​


Troubleshooting

  • Confirm option is greyed out: Ensure Cancellation Reason is selected, shifts cannot be cancelled without a cancellation reason being defined.
    ​
    ​
    ​

  • I want to cancel all shifts in a block: Use the Cancel Shifts button on the block details page to remove the entire block at once.
