Digital Transformation

Are you looking for your next challenge in digital?

We are pleased to be able to offer an exciting opportunity to join the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Programme Team at Northampton General Hospital. In partnership with our chosen supplier, we have embarked on our digital excellence journey to implement a nationally-leading EPR system that will transform the quality of care for our patients and staff by having instantly accessible information using the latest mobile technology, reducing paper usage and utilising clinical decision support tools.

The EPR Project Support Officer will play a key role in the implementation of the Trust’s EPR, supporting the successful delivery of the EPR. As part of a dynamic and agile team that is committed to our Vision ‘Dedicated to Excellence’, you will have significant personal opportunities to grow and develop, as well as to tangibly impact how care is delivered in the future.

The post holder will provide administrative support to project teams and lead specific elements of project implementation. This will include supporting project managers to report regularly on project performance, risk management and financial control. The post holder will lead on specific elements of project implementation (e.g KPI (key performance indicator) collation; data collation; coordination of project reporting) and will serve as the first point of contact for enquiries to the EPR team from internal and external stakeholders.

Travel to the hospital site will be required.
