EPR Project Manager

Job overview

At the Royal Orthopaedic NHS Foundation Trust, we are responding to the increasing complexity of the health and care system and the urgent need to strengthen our digital infrastructure. As part of this, we are implementing a unified Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system, transforming the way we deliver care across the Trust.

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Project Manager to lead and support core workstreams within this transformational programme. You will play a pivotal role in managing the development of clinical pathways and service redesign in line with our programme plan, ensuring that our digital systems deliver tangible benefits for patients and staff alike.
