Turn ESR Into A Modern API With WeHub

WeHub sits in front of ESR as an API facade managed service. It hides legacy Oracle and file exports and gives you clean APIs and repeatable workflows for workforce data.

For NHS workforce, HR, digital and ICS teams that need ESR to talk to modern systems.

The Core ESR Problem

ESR is a legacy Oracle system. It still relies on files, old protocols and outdated browsers.Every trust ends up building its own feeds and spreadsheets on top, making integration slow, fragile and costly to change.

The ESR Integration Gap and How WeHub Changes Solves It

Common ESR Integration Pain Points
  • Fragmented point-to-point feeds into ESR
  • Vendors maintaining their own separate integrations
  • Manual file handling and stitched reports
  • Position conflicts and data issues found late
  • Every ESR or vendor change becomes a new project
How WeHub Solves It
  • One governed integration layer in front of ESR
  • ESR exports in — clean REST APIs & events out
  • Shared validation and position rules across trusts
  • Reusable templates for onboarding, leavers & position changes
