Nuffield Health is the charity that’s building a healthier nation, one day at a time. From award-winning hospitals and leisure facilities to flagship community programmes - we’ll do whatever it takes to look after the UK’s wellbeing. It starts with passion and commitment to quality. It starts with you.

The NEPR programme will change the way we work across Nuffield Health and put in place a new technology-enabled operating model for our hospitals, replacing many of the manual and paper/location-reliant processes with an integrated and flexible patient-centric approach, supported by internet-enabled technology solutions. At the core of this will be a pan Nuffield Health Electronic Patient Record (EPR), which will be used by our clinicians and staff on mobile and traditional devices throughout our hospitals, clinics and gyms, as well as from remote locations outside the Nuffield Health estate.
