Your 'Workspace' in the Switch app refers to the collaborative space in which you work. Once messaging features (Message GP and Message Patient) are rolled out fully, this will be the group of users that you share an inbox with. For example, Dermatology Outpatients.
Note: This is separate from the directory. The directory is only to access phone numbers, extensions and bleeps for a hospital.
If you need to change the workspace you are in, you can do so easily!
How to change workspace in the Switch app
To change workspace, click the name of the workspace you are currently in. This will be in blue at the top.
2. You will then see a list of workspaces at your trust that you are currently in or pending approval to join. If you need to join a new workspace, select Join New Workspace.
3. The existing workspaces at your trust will be shown in alphabetical order. You can search through the list or use the search function to find the workspace you are looking for.
One you have found the workspace you want to join, click Join and then Confirm.
4. If none of the existing workspaces are appropriate, you can create a new one. You will see the Create workspace option if your search comes back with no results.
To create a new workspace, Click Create +. Once created, you will be made the admin for this workspace and be able to approve other users wanting to join this workspace.
