Chief Nursing Information Officer

at  Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust

E-Care is the name we give to our ambitious digital transformation programme and the implementation of our electronic patient record across our 3 hospital sites over the next 2 years. Our roadmap to get here was co-created with our stakeholders and will continue to evolve.
It underpins all our clinical activities with a comprehensive suite of digital solutions, engagement and training. E-Care will touch every patient and clinician and will unify how we work with NHS partner organisations.
The digital solutions will be used contemporaneously, delivering a comprehensive longitudinal shared care record. We will make the capability widely available to our patients, our clinicians, and to partner organisations across the Cornwall and Isles Of Scilly healthcare system. The underlying management information and data will be used to improve service, support decisions, plan, predict and respond and ultimately produce impactful research that will shape the future of medicine.
We are looking for an transformational and experienced registered nurse leader, who can engage with large groups of service users and lead them through significant change.
The CNIO will join the corporate nursing leadership team and will help shape digital care, locally, regionally and nationally. If you are professional and passionate about improving clinical outcomes through digital adoption and are a compassionate person then we urge you to apply.
You will be familiar with the development of service improvement plans, confident in advising board/senior teams on professional issues and able to engage with patients and key stakeholders. You will have outstanding communication and digital skills with knowledge of a wide range of digital solutions, including Electronic Patients Records used within large acute hospitals and good experience of the impact of using such clinical systems.
You will be confident in building rapport and credibility with digital, nursing and operational colleagues and communicate highly complex, sensitive, contentious information to groups of staff where there may be barriers and resistance to change.
An enhanced DBS check will be required for the role and flexibility required to meet deadlines, so flexibility with regard to working hours is essential.
