We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual with a keen interest and ideally experience in digital healthcare. The successful candidate will be required to focus on building and maintaining medications as well as help support UCLH’s wider digital infrastructure.

Patients are at the centre of everything we do.  Our EHR - Epic - helps to ensure that we continue to get better at delivering services and treatment plans designed around patient needs.

Our vision is to create a digitally enabled organisation that supports the delivery of efficient and effective patient care, achieved through easy-to-use systems that provide staff and patients with access to the right information, in the right place, at the right time. At UCLH, Digital Services is central to our transformation programme. To help us to achieve our vision, we are looking for passionate individuals to join our team.

For those candidates who are not already Epic certified in the Willow Inpatient application, we will offer training and you will be supported to attain certification as a requirement during your 6 month probation period. Candidates without Epic certification will start at band 7 and progress to band 8a after certification and after passing their probationary period.

The team consists of several applications that cover pharmacy, chemotherapy workflows, and clinical trial management.  The post holder will oversee and be responsible for the design, configuration, build, and testing of these application modules. Working in conjunction with the EHR delivery managers, they will be responsible for close integration of their application teams with the other application teams in the EHR programme (e.g. outpatients). This includes supporting the managers to ensure the team execute relevant plans and deliver work on time in adherence to the established governance structure and quality standards. They will engage regularly with clinicians and operational managers, analysing service needs, and helping them to agree and deliver clinical best practice standards, future workflows and system optimisation. They will help scope and prioritise new projects in line with Trust strategic objectives.

The work will include developing and supporting the analysts, and working closely with training, technical, information, programme management, benefits and communications staff. We have excellent relationships with departmental leads, super-users and subject matter experts who help prioritise our workstreams.  We also have a rolling upgrade programme which delivers new features and functionality to ensure the system is up-to-date.
