Mark P.

This is my first role after leaving the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme. Continuing my work within the ICT Services Directorate at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. I work across sites but normally based at the Queens Medical Centre campus. In this role I continue to work on the Trust’s deployment of the Medway PAS (Patient Administration System), this being the first step towards a full Electronic Health Record over the next 5 years. The Trust currently employs 13000 staff with around 6000 staff who will be impacted by the deployment. The project involves moving from two separate legacy systems across two campuses to a single system. I sit within the Business Change and Continuity workstream on the project, helping to ensure that key project milestones are met. I work closely with the many Healthcare specialties that the Hospitals provides ensuring the new system is fit for purpose and that the identified benefits for both staff and patients are realised when the new system goes live in Autumn 2013. In addition to this I also volunteered to act as PPI (Patient and Public Involvement) Coordinator for the project and have recruited a total of 5 Patient Representatives to give input into the project. Overall, it is a high profile project that is rich with development opportunities. You can find the website here: http://www.nuh.nhs.uk
