Job overview
Exciting entry point roles into the Shared Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Team. Technical aptitude and an interest in clinical systems is needed. In return this role will teach you all the key areas of the EPR (e.g. patient admin, clinical documents, pharmacy, order comms)
Main duties of the job
We are looking for 2 Junior Analysts to come into our team and develop the skills needed to manage and configure a world-class Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
Our EPR is already mature and in use by CHFT and by BTHFT, however we expect a greater volume of work when Airedale General Hospital join us in 2025.
These Junior Analyst roles will report into a Workstream Lead (see org chart below) and will spend time working in all of the workstreams in order to understand and gain experience in the range of specialist areas the system covers.
The team is made up of staff at 3 Trusts (CHFT, BTHFT and AGHFT) who work together as a highly skilled and expert team to ensure the EPR meets the needs of users across all of the Trusts. The team includes a range of clinical, administrative and information systems skilled staff.
Applicants with clinical, administrative and IT experience are invited to apply. Experience of an EPR (as an end-user or maintaining) would be beneficial, but training will be given.
Working for our organisation
We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
