Job overview
12 month fixed term contract/ secondment opportunity
The three acute hospitals in Norfolk and Waveney, The James Paget University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn Foundation Trust, we are starting one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken – moving from paper-based patient records to electronic ones. The Electronic Patient Record (EPR) programme is currently at the beginning of a journey to transform how information about patients’ health and care is stored, viewed, and used within our acute hospitals. The EPR will use cutting edge technology to create a new digital system where staff will be able to access patient health and care information quickly and securely, meaning they experience quicker and better care.
By bringing all IT and patient record systems together, we can provide better joined-up care wherever patients are treated. The EPR will drive improved standards of services at our acute hospitals. With secure, immediate access to live data, the new system will give clinical staff more time to deliver higher quality, and safer care. For patients, this will mean they don’t have to remember their medical history or repeat the same information to different members of staff, making their care journey more joined-up.
Advert
We are looking for an experienced NHS Project Manager who will work with the EPR leadership team and across the three Norfolk and Waveney acute hospitals in the development and implementation of the integrated EPR system.

This role is being offered on an initial 1-year FTC/Secondment with the aim to extend for an additional 12 months.
