This will include involvement with EPR colleagues, managers and staff in clinical and non-clinical directorates, other appropriate NHS organisations and external stakeholders to ensure that the EPR meets the requirements of all stakeholders, including legal requirements, and is delivered on time and in accordance with the Trust’s present and future requirements.
The role will include oversight of the requesting, requirements gathering and development process and ensuring adequate capacity and demand management.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
