Cellular Pathology EPR Lead

at  Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

The Electronic Patient Records (EPR) project represents a major IT project in Moorfield’s excellence delivery programme. EPR will collate and consolidate the management of clinical records to support clinicians and colleagues across the trust in making more effective decisions, improving clinical outcomes and patient experience.
Our vision is to create a digitally enabled organisation that supports the delivery of efficient and effective patient care. We aim to achieve this through easy-to-use systems that provide staff and patients with access to the right information, in the right place, at the right time.
To help us to achieve this vision, we are looking for passionate individuals to join our EPR team. This will be role/professional specific rather than generic i.e. Project Manager, in this instance a resource to work in the Department of Eye Pathology and steer the development, implementation and integration of a bespoke LIMS with the EPR.
The post holder will work with departmental and related teams to ensure the delivery of an effective and functional Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) across the eye pathology service, both within the department/Trust, but also link to major users and national partners.
This hybrid role has key duties within the department which include providing an efficient, high quality support service, but also a proportion liaising with service users and other directorates.
As a Band 7 Senior Biomedical Scientist the post holder will be responsible for the delivery of diagnostic medical laboratory service which achieves the combined objectives of efficient and effective patient care.
The successful candidate would primarily be expected to embed themselves within the department to rotate through and understand the requirements of all areas of the department, this would dovetail with the other part of the role in working alongside and reporting to the EPR team to ensure the specific needs of all sections of the department, encompassing both diagnostic and research work meet current working practices within the diagnostic laboratory setting and are captured in the LIMS and EPR. The split is anticipated to be roughly 50:50 between laboratory work and the EPR elements, however the two are mutually beneficial.

Salary including High-Cost Area Supplement
Opportunity to join the NHS Pension Scheme
Free 24/7 independent counselling service
