PRIMIS Informatics Facilitator B6 - 37.5 hrs - Fixed term
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly enthusiastic hardworking individual to join a successful team with a long standing reputation for delivering a high standard service to local GP practices and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).
Do you have experience working in General Practice and an in-depth knowledge of EMIS Web?
Do you have experience configuring EMIS Web to improve system efficiencies, usability and patient care?
Are you highly enthusiastic, hard-working and able to deliver results?
Main duties of the job
Applications are invited from highly enthusiastic and motivated candidates with excellent interpersonal and effective communication skills with the confidence to manage process change. Excellent computer skills in a range of standard applications (i.e. Microsoft Office) are essential, as is the aptitude to learn new systems and software. The successful candidate will have experience working in GP practice or equivalent understanding, and an in-depth working knowledge of EMIS Web and clinical coding. Applicants should be able to demonstrate their ability to manage workload in a time efficient manner. The ability to work both independently and part of a team are essential.
