A bank shift starts at 6am. The paperwork shouldn't wait for office hours.
Authorization forms and compliance sign-offs for NHS Professionals bank workers, signed from a phone between shifts.
Where this fits
- NHSP bank workers pick up shifts at short notice, often overnight or early morning, well outside the office hours when paperwork usually gets chased down
- Compliance sign-offs — mandatory training attestations, right-to-work confirmations, bank-terms updates — need a signature before a shift starts, not after it
- A bank worker moving between multiple trusts shouldn't need to create a new account or remember another login just to confirm one form
Who uses this
- Teams running on NHS Professionals
- Teams running on NHSP
- Or anything similar — the signing step works the same regardless of which one you use
Why Docracy
Docracy sends a bank worker's authorization or compliance form straight to their phone — over WhatsApp, phone-bound and PIN-protected, or by SMS — so it can be signed between shifts, at any hour, without an account. Save a bank-worker authorization or onboarding template once and reuse it across your whole staff bank; a timestamped audit trail confirms exactly when each form went out and came back signed. This is strictly for staffing and administrative paperwork, not clinical or patient-facing documents.
Sign between shifts, any hour
A link a bank worker can open and sign at 5am before a shift, not just during office hours.
No account for bank staff
One less login for staff already juggling shifts across multiple trusts.
Reusable compliance templates
Save an authorization or onboarding form once, reuse it for every bank worker.
Audit trail
Timestamped proof of delivery, viewing, and signature for every form.
Docracy has no native integration with NHS Professionals' staff bank platform, isn't HIPAA/NHS-DSPT certified, and isn't built for clinical or patient records — it's a fit for staffing and administrative paperwork only, sent alongside NHSP, not inside it.
Templates for this
Authorization Form
Grants a named individual specific, time-limited authority to act on someone else's behalf.

Frequently asked questions
Do the people I send documents to need a Docracy account?
No — only the sender needs an account, so document history, saved templates, and team access have somewhere to live. Whoever's signing opens a link and signs, no signup required.
Which documents can I send?
Ready-made templates for this include Authorization Form, Contractor Onboarding Agreement. You can also upload your own PDF.
How much does it cost?
Free for documents with up to 2 signers. Beyond that it's a flat $10/month — never priced per seat — which also unlocks reusable templates, team accounts, and the integrations mentioned above.
How fast can someone actually sign?
Under a minute in most cases: they open the link, review the document, and sign — no account to create, no app to install. WhatsApp delivery adds a phone-bound PIN step for extra assurance when that matters.
What doesn't Docracy do here?
Docracy has no native integration with NHS Professionals' staff bank platform, isn't HIPAA/NHS-DSPT certified, and isn't built for clinical or patient records — it's a fit for staffing and administrative paperwork only, sent alongside NHSP, not inside it.
