LCO EPR Expansion - Digital Programme Lead
Joining the Digital Service places you at the heart of the Trust's digital journey. The Hive Electronic Patient Record (EPR), powered by Epic, launched in September 2022 and marked a major milestone in MFT's vision of becoming a Digital First organisation. Hive has greatly enhanced the Trust's ability to harness data by capturing high‑quality, high‑volume clinical and non‑clinical information across acute services, enabling data‑driven insights to accelerate digital transformation and deliver safer, more efficient, and more personalised patient care.
The Digital Programme Lead will be a key leadership role within the Digital Services programme team responsible for the roll out of our Epic EPR to all MFT community services. This strategic project is a key enabler for the delivery of the NHS 10‑year plan. You will help enhance clinical quality, patient and staff experience, operational effectiveness, and research excellence as part of the Digital Team.
