Features
Everything a clinical rotation needs
From the first ward round to the head of department's sign-off.
Log in seconds
Cases, procedures, attendance and CMEs, on your phone
Rotalog is built around your programme's requirements for each department, so every entry counts toward the right requirement. Weekly attendance takes one tap per day.
- Case presentations matched to required conditions
- Procedures logged with your level of involvement
- Teaching, CME sessions and reflections
Signing codes
Signed on the ward, in seconds
No chasing supervisors with a paper logbook. The supervisor taps the trainee's name and shows a 6-digit code that works once and expires in five minutes. The trainee types it in, and the entries are signed.
Not together? Send a request in the app and your supervisor signs from their own queue.
Case presentations
Add the ECG, the X-ray, the slides
Attach pictures and slides to case presentations and CME sessions, so your supervisor signs exactly what you presented. Pictures are shrunk on the phone, and everyone is reminded to crop out names and numbers first.
Print and verify
A printed logbook anyone can verify
At the end of a rotation, print the whole logbook or save it as a PDF. Every signed entry lists the supervisor, the time and a unique reference, and a QR code lets a board, employer or examiner check that the document is genuine.
For coordinators
Every trainee at a glance
See who is behind, whose entries are waiting on a supervisor and what needs attesting. Supervisors see their signing requests grouped by trainee and can review a week at a time.
RotaLearn 🤓
A daily case challenge and a national leaderboard
Every day at noon, RotaLearn posts a clinical case with ten questions, from basic science to management, grounded in local and international guidelines. Answers and the leaderboard are revealed the next day.
- Points for correct answers, bonus points for streaks
- Leaderboards for your hospital and the whole country
- Supervisors can share their own cases
Community and messages
Post a case. Start a discussion.
Share a learning point or a tricky ECG with colleagues at your hospital or across Rotalog, and learn from every reply. Message supervisors and colleagues directly, or discuss a specific logbook entry.
How it works
Getting started is simple
Set up your institution
We create your institution and its departments, using your programme's curriculum or your own requirements.
Upload your people
Your coordinator uploads trainees and supervisors from a spreadsheet. Everyone gets a link to join.
Start logging and signing
Trainees log on their phones, supervisors sign on the ward, and coordinators follow progress as it happens.
Trust
Records you can stand behind
A logbook is only worth something if people believe it.
Named signatures
Every signature records who signed, when and how, with a unique reference.
Verifiable printouts
A QR code on every printed logbook shows whether it matches the record.
Training, not patients
Patient identifiers are off by default, and posts with names or IP/OP numbers are refused.
Kept within your institution
Logbooks and private messages are only visible inside your own hospital.
Bring Rotalog to your hospital or training institution
We're onboarding the first institutions now. Book a 30-minute demo: we'll show you Rotalog with your own departments in mind, then set you up and walk your coordinators through it.
FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Rotalog?
Rotalog is a digital clinical logbook for clinical training. Trainees log case presentations, procedures, weekly attendance, teaching and reflections on their phone; supervisors sign them; coordinators follow every trainee's progress; and the finished logbook can be printed with a QR code that anyone can scan to check it.
Who is Rotalog for?
Students and interns in medicine, nursing and midwifery, clinical medicine (clinical officers) and allied health programmes such as radiography, physiotherapy, pharmacy and laboratory science; their supervisors and clinical instructors; heads of department; and the coordinators or department secretaries who run training at a hospital or medical school.
How do supervisors sign entries?
Two ways. On the ward, the supervisor opens Rotalog and shows a 6-digit signing code that works once and expires in five minutes; the trainee types it in. Or the trainee sends a request in the app and the supervisor reviews and signs later from their own phone.
Do we need to install an app?
No. Rotalog runs in the browser on any Android phone, iPhone or computer, and can be added to the home screen like an app.
Does Rotalog store patient information?
Rotalog is designed to record training, not patients. Patient identifiers are off by default, posts that look like they contain a patient's name, phone number or IP/OP number are refused, and people are asked to crop names and numbers out of pictures before sharing.
How does our institution start using Rotalog?
Book a demo or email mohamed@rotalog.app. We set up your institution, and your coordinator uploads the list of trainees and supervisors from a spreadsheet so everyone can join with a link.
