Digital Transformation & Innovation EPR Project Manager

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 Manager (fixed term, post holder) will play a pivotal role in the implementation of the Trust’s EPR, managing the successful delivery of one or more of the modules that, together, make up the overall 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 primary purpose of this role is to oversee the implementation of one, or more, modules that make up the EPR. Project managers will maintain detailed project plans, ensure stakeholders are engaged, ensure that risks are managed appropriately, and provide reporting into the EPR governance structure. 

The post holder must be experienced in managing complex change programmes and be competent with technology-enabled service re-design and service transformation. Experience of working with agile methodologies will be an advantage. 

Travel to the hospital site will be required.
