About Alloc-8
Managing placements in allied health is complex
What Alloc-8 does
Everything your placement team needs in one place
No more spreadsheets. No more chasing. No more working around software that wasn’t built for healthcare placements.
Smart Allocation
Match students to placements based on proximity, experience requirements, capacity, and programme rules, automatically. No manual coordination needed.
Compliance Built In
ePAD, ePAF, logbooks, timesheets, immunisations, and DBS all tracked in one place. Not scattered across five different systems.
Visibility for Everyone
Universities and placement providers get a clear, shared view of progress. Reducing chasing, emails, and manual reporting across the board.
Students can track hours, milestones, placements completed, and what’s still ahead – all in one dashboard. No confusion. No chasing their tutor for updates.
Whether your students need to be placed within two hours of their provider or matched against specific prior experience, Alloc-8 handles the rules your team lives by.

A clear picture for every student on their placement journey
Real-world example
Complex rotation logic, handled automatically
The challenge we are solving:
In paramedic programmes, at times only 30% of students can be on ambulance placement at any one time. The remaining 70% rotate through skills weeks, then swap – with another 30% going out while the rest continue elsewhere. This cycle repeats across the full cohort, every term.
Alloc-8 handles this by splitting the cohort into groups, assigning calendar windows to each, and running different allocation rules per group. No spreadsheets. No manual coordination. Just a system that understands how your programme actually works.
