Digitisation Clinical Lead

The Bedded Unit Digitisation project will deliver the Trust’s ambitious vision for the Bedded Services to transition to digitised clinical workflows for our staff to use resources to access the information they need to make better informed clinical decisions.

This is a joint project between CLCH and our IT delivery partner, Capita, to deliver to the Trust a fully functional EPR clinical system. The development of the Trusts clinical systems, SystmOne and EMIS Web, will replace paper processes which are currently used.

The Bedded Unit Digitisation Clinical Lead will be a practicing clinician who is able to provide the clinical leadership of the Project to our Divisional Leads. The postholder will be skilled in working with a range of stakeholders including Chiefs of Service, Divisional Directors of Operations, Divisional Directors of Nursing and Therapies, Senior Clinical leads, Clinical Service Unit managers and operational staff.

Be a highly skilled and experienced senior clinician who is able to establish and control their own workload and set their own agenda.
