PEOPLE are at the HEART of everything we do

This video gives a flavour of what it is like to work at our Trust and why some of our staff love working here

"Over the past three years, BHRUT has made significant progress in its digital development with the support of a number of joint roles with NELFT, including a shared Director of Health Informatics. In that period we have invested over £30m in digital: agile working is now supported by enhanced end use devices, the servers and data centre are more robust and secure and the last part of the infrastructure - the network - is ready for implementation over the next two years. We have also started to transform the way we use digital, with significant developments with System C led by our new and expanded clinical informatics teams.

Like all support services, digital needs to be shaped by the organisations it supports and it now needs to focus on making progress with the shared electronic patient record system with Barts Health. Accordingly, we will be separating the joint roles with NELFT so that each Trust has its own lead director for digital, supported by a dedicated team.

In BHRUT, this will consist of a Band 9 Director of Informatics supported by three Band 8d assistant director roles for applications, infrastructure and data warehouse and integration roles. These changes do not affect business intelligence or clinical informatics roles which are already dedicated to BHRUT.

This a senior leadership post in IM&T to deliver safe, effective, responsive and well-led service provision of application ecosystem, successful delivery of digital programs and information governance supported by relevant teams. Act as the primary contact for clinical systems and oversee clinical systems support across BHRUT, ensuring the continuous availability maintenance and smooth running of installed systems. Ensure IM&T Clinical Systems teams support the development and implementation of the Trust's IM&T Strategic Delivery Plan, working alongside the EPR Programme team, and therefore ensuring the service is fully aligned to, and support for delivery of Trust transformational programmes. The role has three key purposes:. Support the current suite of applications developed under the BHRUT “Digitise” phase. Work closely with the EPR Programme team to support a successful implementation in 2025. Support medical records and information governance."

Working for our organisation

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, was named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024.

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.

Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.

These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.

The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
