NHS AfC: Band 6
Job overview
Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust is continuing its digital and clinical transformation journey that will change the way in which we deliver care across Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, and the South West Peninsula. eCare, the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Programme will underpin everything we do for our patients, our people, and our communities.
