Our vision is to create a digitally enabled organisation that supports the delivery of efficient & effective patient care, achieved through easy-to-use systems that provide staff & patients with access to the right information, in the right place, at the right time. To help us to achieve this vision, we are looking for passionate individuals to join our EHR team. This is an exciting time to join our team, with significant growth planned for the department. UCLH will be supporting the implementation of Epic for another NHS Trust & is therefore holding a dedicated recruitment drive.
