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 vision for our single corporate services is to:

Be an employer of choice for corporate talent, attracting and retaining people who share our values for excellence in care and welcome the opportunity to benefit from the broad range of flexible career and development opportunities we can offer. Improve efficiency through simplified and standardised policies, processes, and systems, drawing on the best from both Trusts. Do things once and reduce any duplication on transactional tasks giving corporate staff the ability to focus on higher value and more diverse activities. Co-invest in the latest digital solutions and standardise our approach, meaning we do things once for both organisations. Improve learning and development opportunities and sharing best practice, upskilling both Trusts. Co-locate teams in purpose-built facilities on the Island and in Portsmouth to enable closer working and sharing. Build resilience for individuals and our teams.

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


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


1. Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT)


2. Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU)


3. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT)


4. 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 .


The introduction of EPR will support us in transforming how we work every day, helping us to run our services with the information we need at our fingertips. It will also help us to deliver care in a different way, according to best practice, efficiently and consistently.


Our EPR will act as an enabler for a greatly improved integrated healthcare system, in which caregivers and patients have electronic access to more complete health records and are empowered to make better health decisions.


The key objectives of the program are:


1. Enhance patient care by empowering clinicians, providing them with the right information at the right time and in the right place


2. Improved continuity of care for many of our patients who receive treatment at more than one Trust


3. Provide a 'single source of truth', making sharing information across pathways much simpler


4. Maximise efficient working and reduce errors when making decisions


5. Allow significantly greater clinical information-sharing with our partners in primary care, community care, mental health and ambulance


6. Enable integration of acute services across the four Trusts
