Home › Staff › Role: Corporate Services

Corporate services teams play a vital role in keeping our hospitals running, and the EPR will support that work by improving how information is shared across the organization.

Most corporate services teams won’t use the EPR in the same way as clinical staff, but it will still affect how information is shared and how some services work. For teams involved in planning, reporting, transformation or support, having more consistent information in one place should make some processes easier and reduce duplication.

The impact will vary by role, and for some people very little may change day to day. We’ll keep sharing what the EPR means for different teams as the work develops.

Corporate Services FAQs

  • What happens to the information already in current systems?

    The programme will share our approach to this before go-live. The detail of what moves, what stays and for how long is being confirmed.

  • Will all current systems be replaced?

    Many will be. Some specialist systems will stay alongside the EPR, with information flowing between them. The EPR will continue to be developed over the coming years with more of our current systems replaced. If you have a question about a specific system please speak to a member of the EPR team.

  • Will my day-to-day work change?

    Yes. How you document, order, schedule, prescribe and hand over will change. The extent of that change depends on your role and EPR team members will help you to understand what that could mean for you. You will get specific training before go-live, and you will have support in your work area over the first few weeks of the new system being in use.

  • What is Huron's role?

    Huron Consulting Services UK joined as delivery partner in May 2026. They are working alongside the programme team to design, build and configure the MEDITECH Expanse system for use across all three trusts. Hunter Healthcare is part of the Huron team.
