Job overview
The Programme
EPUT and MSEFT are implementing a UK first of its kind Unified Electronic Patient Record (UEPR) system across Acute, Mental Health, and Community services. This will be delivered through the Nova Programme, in partnership with commercial providers.
The programme emphasizes a commitment to people—patients, staff, and the community—and fosters an inclusive culture that values contributions from every individual.
We are seeking an experienced EPMA Clinical Lead to join the Nova programme and help us achieve its goals.
Main duties of the job
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (MSEFT) serves residents of Southend, Basildon, and Chelmsford. It was formed in April 2020 through a merger of three trusts. Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) provides community, mental health, and learning disability services across Bedfordshire, Essex, and Suffolk, formed in 2017 from a merger.
Both trusts are pioneering a UK first EPR system that spans multiple health sectors, with a contract signed with Oracle Health to implement the Cerner solution. We seek a Clinical Lead to support this transformative programme.
Working for our organization
With approximately 15,000 staff, we aim to deliver excellent services, improve patient health and wellbeing, and create a vibrant environment for staff development, innovation, and careers. Patients will benefit from improved care, fewer delays, and more regional specialist services, with increased opportunities for professional growth and research.
