Job overview

This role is only open to applicants that currently work within an NHS Trust within the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System (HIOW ICS).

Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Acute Care Collaborative, as part of the Integrated Care Board (ICB), is launching a major digital transformation initiative through a new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Programme. This role will serve as the lead clinical informatician, responsible for ensuring the EPR meets the needs of all four Acute Trusts in the region and aligns with the strategic goals of the ICB and Acute Provider Collaborative (APC).

This is a unique opportunity for a senior clinician to lead and champion digital transformation across the acute care system, fostering clinical engagement and leadership. The role involves both remote and cross-site working.

Please note: This is a single vacancy. To ensure broad accessibility, the role will be advertised through both general recruitment and medical consultant platforms. However, there is only one position available, and it is open to applicants from both routes, including Consultants.

Main duties of the job

  • Alongside the Core CNIO, lead the clinical aspects of the procurement and implementation of the HIOW EPR programme.
  • Chair and manage the Clinical and Operational Design Authority to ensure appropriate clinical leadership, ownership and direction is maintained for the programme.
  • Work collaboratively with system partners to ensure dependencies are managed between the EPR programme and other programme of work ongoing within the four trusts and wider region.
  • Interpret data from a variety of sources to offer recommendations on overall Programme and workstream delivery and service reconfiguration across the organisations.
  • Act as a change agent, working with clinical leadership teams, in the procurement, operational and technical readiness, implementation planning, deployment and benefits measurement of the EPR to ensure improved quality patient care and professional practice.
  • Ensure that the organisation adopts and adheres to professional standards relating to the EPR procurement and implementation, including national standards for the structure and content of the records and communications.
  • Combine knowledge of patient care, informatics concepts, and change management to effectively address the information and knowledge needs of healthcare professionals and patients in the delivery of the EPR to promote safe, effective, and efficient clinical care
