Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The post holder will play a central role in supporting the maintenance and optimisation of the Trust’s electronic prescribing and medicines administration (EPMA) systems, working as part of the Pharmacy and wider digital teams. They will be responsible for ensuring that EPMA systems are used safely, effectively and to their full potential to improve patient care, medication safety and clinical workflows.
The role requires a high level of clinical expertise combined with specialist digital and systems knowledge.
A key responsibility will be the design, configuration and validation of EPMA system content, including treatment protocols and order sets. The post holder will use their clinical expertise to ensure that systems are aligned with best practice and support safe prescribing and administration of medicines. They will also be involved in testing system upgrades and changes, identifying and escalating any risks to patient safety before implementation.
Acting as a key link between nursing, pharmacy and digital teams, the post holder will represent the nursing perspective in EPMA-related projects and forums, both internally and externally. They will be expected to work autonomously, manage competing priorities and contribute to the Trust’s wider digital transformation agenda, supporting improvements in digital maturity and patient-centred care.
The role requires flexibility, strong organisational and communication skills, and the ability to work across different clinical areas and, where required, multiple sites. The post holder must demonstrate leadership, initiative and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring high standards are maintained at all times.
