Job overviewAs part of the Trust’s Information Management and Technology (IMT) Strategy, the IM&T Clinical Programme will radically alter the way that Trust staff interact and use technology to inform and support the care they provide.
Although Information Technology (IT) provides the opportunity to achieve these changes, the primary aim is to provide more effective and efficient patient care, not just implement new IT/clinical systems. Subject matter expert input is fundamental to the successful completion of these changes, and this role is crucial to the successful and safe implementation of the IM&T Clinical Programme.
The post holder will be one of the project managers for the IM&T Clinical Programme and will act as a role model and expert for all staff.
The core function of this role will be to enable the successful delivery of IM&T systems and functionality within the scope of the Programme and to support change as a result.
