Job Overview
EPR Programme Risk Manager - EPR
Fixed Term / Secondment till 31st December 2027
Please note this is an internal role open to employees of RUH, GWH and SFT.
We are seeking a highly motivated and detail‑driven EPR Risk Manager to support the safe delivery, assurance and ongoing governance of digital clinical systems across the organisation. This role is central to ensuring that all Health IT (HIT) systems—particularly the shared integrated Electronic Patient Record—are implemented and maintained in line with national clinical safety standards, regulatory requirements and best practice.
Main duties of the job
The EPR Risk Manager will work closely with the Group Chief Clinical Safety Officer (CSO) to manage and oversee the assurance of clinical safety cases for all relevant HIT software. You will ensure that safety‑related risks are actively identified, assessed and managed, and that appropriate mitigations are clearly communicated to clinical, operational and digital stakeholders.
A key part of the role involves raising awareness of clinical risk management principles across the organisation, supporting staff, suppliers and partners to embed a strong safety culture and adhere to DCB clinical safety standards. You will collaborate with suppliers, internal teams and NHS England (Digital) to provide organisational assurance on the clinical safety of information systems.
The postholder will also play a critical role in the procurement and implementation of new HIT systems and medical devices, ensuring compliance with DCB0160, reviewing DCB0129 documentation, Data Protection Impact Assessments and relevant medical device regulatory information. As part of the organisation’s digital strategy, you will ensure that robust clinical risk management is applied throughout the full lifecycle of digital systems—including deployment, development, upgrades and modifications
