As part of the on-going evolution of our digital program, we are seeking to appoint an experienced clinical Midwife or Nurse to help facilitate adoption of our digital healthcare record in the Maternity department, within the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
This post will work with our Digital Midwifery Team, Senior Divisional Nurse Informatics Leads, Divisional Midwifery Management and the Electronic Patient Record team, to support a program for the rollout of a digital maternity solution across community and in-hospital maternity services.
They will provide greater visibility of the needs of the clinical services and promote enhanced communication between these services and the digital program. They will provide expert knowledge and understanding of clinical needs and how digital may evolve and develop to support our goal to be paper free at the point of care.
Candidates will be a registered Midwife or nurse with a clinical background. They will be an excellent communicator and will be expected to work in close collaboration with Midwifery, Nursing, Allied Healthcare, Clinical Support and digital technical teams, supporting their Senior Divisional Nurse Informatics Lead and the Chief Nurse Informatics Officer.
