Job summary
Since going live with the Cerner PAS in Apr 2014, the Trust has embarked on a journey to digitise clinical records. Excellent progress has been made and the Cerner EPR is now in use across the organisation by all clinical services. Following the success of this project, the Chelsea and Westminster, Imperial, London Northwest and Hillindgon Trust Boards have decided to share the same instance of Cerner. The NHS England's Global Digital Exemplar (GDE) programme provided access to funding and enabled the Trusts to progress their digital strategy far more rapidly than before.
