Summary
An opportunity to join the UCLH Electronic Health Record (EHR) team has arisen within the Pharmacy, Cancer Chemotherapy, and Clinical Trial team. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual with a keen interest in digital healthcare. The successful candidate will be required to build and maintain medications within Epic as well as help support UCLH’s wider EHR team and digital infrastructure.
Our analysts must be Epic certified. We accept applications from candidates who are already certified, and we also consider those without certification.
For candidates who are not already Epic certified in the Willow Inpatient application, we offer training and support to attain certification. These candidates start at band 7 and progress to band 8a after certification and on passing their 6-month probationary period.
Applicants without Epic certification will also be required to undertake the Epic aptitude assessment (the Sphinx test) prior to interview.
The EHR team have worked remotely for several years and we are open to applications from outside of the London area. However the team is required to come into the office on Tottenham Court Road on a set day once every 2 weeks (currently every other Tuesday).
The work focusses on building and maintaining our medication and pharmacy related workflows and content. Analysts work closely with operational staff in the Pharmacy, Cancer and Research departments to ensure Epic is kept up-to-date with newly approved medicines, investigational medicines, cancer chemotherapy protocols and clinical trials. Analysts also interact with training, technical, information, programme management, and communications staff.
We upgrade Epic twice a year. At this time analysts may build and test newly available features, as well as execute our regression and integrated test scripts.
We have a rolling upgrade programme which delivers new features and functionality which have been identified through our operational consensus and product groups.
Our Thrive programme, which is supported by our analysts, aims to ensure functionality is adopted and identifies areas where operational staff need further support when using the system.
We are currently working with the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital to implement Epic through the Connect model.
University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) is one of the most complex NHS trusts in the UK, serving a large and diverse population. We provide academically led acute and specialist services, to people from the local area, from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.

IMPORTANT: For those candidates who are not already Epic certified in the Willow (Pharmacy) and Beacon (cancer protocol) applications, we will offer training and you will be supported to attain certification as a requirement during your 6 month probation period.

Applicants without an Epic certification will also be required to undertake the Epic aptitude assessment (the Sphinx test) prior to interview.
