Our EPR Subject Matter Experts play a key role in the implementation of BHRUT's new EPR by acting as the subject specialist within their designated area of expertise, using their knowledge of our internal Trust systems and processes to support the supplier and wider programme team with decision-making and design of our new workflows.

Main duties of the job
The EPR Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will provide subject specialist expertise to support the introduction of an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solution for Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT).
The EPR SMEs will provide specialist input to the EPR programme, working closely with the Chief Operational Information Officer, Workstream Leads, Workstream Analysts and associates from our system supplier to influence the decision-making processes for the design and workflow of the new EPR.
The EPR SMEs will be role specific. Using their own expertise and knowledge of existing Trust processes and systems, alongside their ability to form excellent working relationships with colleagues in their role-specific area, they will collate consensus data and facilitate feedback, influencing the build and establishment of future workflows within the EPR.

About us
We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with. We're no longer in special measures; we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.
We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 88,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
