BHRUT services around 40% of this population and is looking to rapidly improve its digital capability to meet these health demands and transform patient and workforce experience.
This is an exceptional opportunity for clinicians to become part of this journey, leading digital transformation across the system.
How would you like to be one of BHRUT’s Digital Clinical Informatics Leads?
In conjunction with the Chief Transformation Officer, take responsibility and be accountable for the strategic direction of health informatics design, implementation and delivery for your allocated division. Engage and consult with appropriate stakeholders in designing, delivering and evaluating clinical informatics systems, including patients, carers, clinicians, technical and programme teams and best practice groups. Work closely with clinical informatics team members, including the Clinical Informatics Pharmacists, Informatics Midwife, and other clinical staff members financed by the wider budget within divisions.
As a Clinical Informatics Lead (CIL) you will lead the innovation and improvement of clinical services using informatics to digitally empower patients and citizens and create new financially sustainable digital ways of working to transform care delivery across all clinical environments and professions.
You will be an ambassador for the EPR digital transformation agenda and the voice of your division, ensuring that the clinical division is maximising the use of technology and shared information to provide high quality, safe and effective care for service users.
Commit to working to and encouraging within your division the highest standards of probity, integrity and governance and contribute to ensuring the division’s internal governance arrangements conform with best practice and statutory requirements. Ensure that all relevant and required IM&T policies are clinically appropriate. Be part of the Clinical Informatics Board (CIB) and a regular attendee with the Digital Governance and Safety Board (DGM).
You will lead on at least one digital workstream and build strong and collaborative relationships with key stakeholders at the regional and national level to understand the political and system-wide challenges in the interests of patients, citizens, and the division. Develop strong links with our key supplier partners.
Contribute to the development of informatics training programs for multi-professional teams and monitor the effectiveness of these programs.
Under the leadership of our Chair, Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive we provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in southwest Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.
We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and this will be one of the many benefits of our closer collaboration with Barts Health. Working with them and with all our partners across northeast London, we will find a sustainable solution to enhance patient care.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
