It's an exciting time in digital. As we begin one of the largest programmes of digital transformation we have undertaken the move from paper-based patient records to electronic ones.

Our Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Programme is currently at the beginning of a journey to transform how our clinicians deliver care for the benefit of our patients, and as we build our business case and move forward with pre-implementation work. We will be growing our team significantly.

Based at the King's Mill Hospital site, we have a great environment to work in. As a mobile first Trust we provide our staff with digital tools and devices to help deliver the best care for our patients and enable opportunities for hybrid working practices where this benefits the services being provided.

This role is a great opportunity to join and shape the EPR programme from the beginning. It will suit an enthusiastic and experienced individual who is able to bring the right skills and knowledge to drive digital transformation at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
