Senior Project Manager | Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

MoorConnect Electronic Patient Records (EPR) represents a major IT project in Moorfield’s excellence delivery programme. MoorConnect 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 team.
Patients are at the centre of everything we do. Our EPR will help us to ensure that we continue to improve our delivery of services and treatment plans around patient needs. The EPR is designed to wrap around our specialist ophthalmology clinical noting system, OpenEyes, to provide a seamlessly integrated patient record system. Combining this leading ophthalmology centred noting system with the benefits of broader patient-centred record integration is an exciting step forward in supporting trust staff to continue to deliver leading eye care as we get closer to moving to our new centre for advancing eye care, currently known as Oriel, which is being built in Camden.
