Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trusts have a shared instance of Cerner Millennium Electronic Patient Record (EPR). Following a very successful go-live across both Trusts in 2017, EPR has transformed the way in which we work using technology to improve quality and patient safety, which will in turn help to provide the future of 'excellence in patient care' at both Trusts.
