Job Description

Lewisham and Greenwich is embarking on the biggest programme of digitally-enabled clinical and operational transformation we have ever undertaken. The Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Acceleration Programme is our exciting and challenging programme aimed at transforming the way we deliver health and care in a way that is both clinically and financially sustainable. It will underpin everything we do for our patients and carers, people and communities, as well as creating a working environment that better enables our staff to deliver the best care they can every day.

Key to the success of the EPR implementation will be the configuration of the existing EPR to meet the needs of Lewisham and Greenwich. Our Senior Analysts will work collaboratively with analysts in the other two trusts to prepare for our EPR go-live in 2027. They will ensure that the system configuration meets the needs of the Trust and support the testing of the solution for go-live.
