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.
The postholder will be responsible for the leadership and management of the EPR team and establishing relationships with all three trusts to deliver the EPR service. They will be responsible for the management of budgets and chairing the EPR governance process. They will also be responsible for providing high quality, timely and proactive development of EPR within service constraints to keep up with the ambition of all organisations
