From 28 September to 2 October, EPR Unlocked brought our new electronic patient record (EPR) to staff across the Group. More than 1,300 of you came along to sessions online and in person, and we announced the date our hospitals move to the new EPR: the weekend of 22 and 23 May 2027.
If you missed a demo, or want to watch one again, you will find the recordings below. Each one shows a real part of the system and is short enough to watch on a break. They are worth watching even if a demo sits outside your area, as they give a real sense of how the EPR will work.
Watch Jo Segasby’s look back at EPR Unlocked, for the week in numbers and what you told us.
