The Trusts



Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (MSEFT) provides services to the residents of Southend, Basildon, and Chelmsford. It was formed in April 2020 by the merger of Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust, and Basildon & Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) provides community health, mental health and learning disability services to support more 3.2 million people living across Bedfordshire, Essex, and Suffolk.



Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.









The Programme

EPUT and MSEFT are embarking on the implementation of a UK first of type Unified Electronic Patient Record (UEPR) system that spans Acute, Mental Health and Community services. The new system will be delivered through the Nova Programme, alongside our commercial partners for this significant transformative journey.

At the heart of our ambitious programme is a commitment to people – our patients, our staff and our community. We believe that the key to successful innovation lies in fostering a supportive, inclusive culture that values every individual’s contribution.





The postholder will:

·Take the lead on all testing aspects of the EPR programme.

·Support the creation of the Testing Strategy document for the testing process for the EPR Programme and related projects.

·Specify the scale of the testing.

·Work with legacy system suppliers to define the criteria and requirements.

·Work with the suppliers to resolve any issues surrounding the testing activities.

·Analyse and verify the reconciliation and rejection reports generated during testing and data migration stages.

·Brief the organisation on reconciliation and rejection reports and help with the resolution of the defects/ rejects.

·Support System Configuration Testing and Data Migration

·Define the detailed testing activities that will be performed at a specific location.

·Refer to tests in the generic specification and analyse and write tests for any bespoke activities agreed with the Organisation.

·Select the tests to be used to perform the contractual deployment testing for a particular release.

·Ensure selected tests are in an appropriate format, with suitably predicted results, to use during deployment.

With a workforce of approximately 15,000 staff, we can now do more and go further in delivering health services to our local communities.

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

Patients will experience improved care as well as fewer delays and cancellations. We are able to provide more once-in-a-lifetime specialist care region-wide. With our new trust size will come more opportunities for development, research, networking and innovation.

We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust.
