LONDON, February 11 /PRNewswire/ --     Manpower Software plc, a leading provider of workforce optimisation and 
electronic rostering solutions, is pleased to announce that Imperial College 
Healthcare NHS Trust has selected Manpower Software's MAPS Healthroster 
solution.

David Foster, Executive Sponsor for the e-rostering project at Imperial
College Healthcare NHS Trust, commented: "This is a fantastic development in
what is a very progressive organisation. The system enables ward sisters to
produce safe, fair and cost effective rosters and is helping us to focus on
providing the right numbers of nurses with the right skills to enhance
patient care. I am also excited about extending it to other work groups."

On 1st October 2007 Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and St Mary's NHS
Trust came together with Imperial College London to create a UK first - an
Academic Health Science Centre and the UK's largest NHS Trust - Imperial
College Healthcare NHS Trust. Becoming the UK's first Academic Health Science
Centre, the Trust integrates health services with teaching and research. The
fusion of the different strands of work aims to provide significant benefits
for patients and to achieve great advances in healthcare.

Following a successful pilot MAPS Healthroster solution has been selected
to electronically roster nurses and midwives along with interfacing to ESR
(Electronic Staff record - the NHS HR and Payroll system) and their Bank
system (BSMS). It followed a competitive tender and a six month pilot, which
demonstrated that by using MAPS Healthroster it was possible to improve staff
productivity and provide real time visibility of the use and management of
staff at various levels of the organisation.

Commenting on the announcement, Paul Scandrett, Manpower Software's Head
of Healthcare said: "To be selected by the largest and first Academic Health
Science Centre following a European tender process and a successful six month
pilot, once again demonstrates our ability to consistently deliver across the
diverse clinical settings found in the NHS. We are particularly excited by
the opportunity to work with the leading pioneer in healthcare who can help
us continue our focus of improving patient care and clinical outcomes by
aligning patient's requirements with the best clinical teams. This now brings
the total number of MAPS Healthroster customers to 32 NHS Trusts in England
and Wales."
