Main duties of the job
As an Application and Configuration Workstream Manager you will lead the configuration and deployment of a number of key modules of the EHR platform to align with new workflows and patient pathways.
We are seeking individuals who have appropriate qualifications and clinical or operational NHS experience who are keen to become our configuration experts in the module they are responsible for.

You must be able to juggle multiple, sometimes conflicting deadlines and maintain strong working relationships across the wider end user community as well as others within the Programme team. Strong communication skills, including the ability to break down barriers of understanding across teams and leading by example will be essential in this role.
Importantly we are looking for people with genuine enthusiasmfor the Apollo Programme which will be passed on to other staff.
About us
Guy's and St. Thomas' Foundation Trust, Kings College Hospital Foundation Trust, and Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital are embarking on the biggest programme of clinical pathway transformation we have undertaken. The Apollo Programme is an exciting and challenging programme that will transform how we deliver health and care in a way that is both clinically and financially sustainable. It will underpin everything we do for our patients and carers, people and communities, while creating a working environment that supports our staff to deliver the best care.
Key to the success of the programme will be the engagement and involvement of service users and staff in building, then delivering new ways of working. This transformation will be achieved by the introduction of a comprehensive Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. We are working in partnership with our EHR supplier, Epic, to deliver this programme of work.
