Hours per Week: Full time 37.5 hrs

Fixed Term Contract: 23 months

Location: Your base location will be either IWT or PHU, with the option to work remotely up to 2 days a week.

The OneEPR Programme exists to implement a single integrated electronic patient record (EPR) designed to improve patient outcomes and the experience of delivering care for our patients.

The solution is the direct result of the combined vision and strategic goals of:

• Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT)
• Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU)
• Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT)
• University Hospital Southampton Foundation Trust (UHS)

The Trusts will work together with their clinical and departmental experts alongside regional digital colleagues to procure and implement a joint EPR over the coming years.

Main duties of the job

IWT and PHU Trusts have started a journey to share PHUs in-house developed EPR in readiness for OneEPR. The Senior Development Specialist will be a key player in the Trusts strategic goal to converge to a single EPR. This will involve working with Product Owners to support new feature requests to assist with feature parity with IWTs current EPR.

About us

Working as a partnership, both Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust have a shared vision for excellence in care for our patients and communities; with a set of strategic aims underpinning how we will achieve this.

The single corporate service is delivered across both organisations. You may be based at either IWT or PHU and individuals may be required to undertake business travel between sites. For leaders managing staff across multi-site locations, you will need to be visible and provide in person leadership. The arrangements and frequency will be agreed locally.
