Job description

Digital Lead Nurse/AHP Role

Are you passionate about improving patient care and the capabilities of our clinical teams? We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Nurse/AHP who is passionate about digital innovation in healthcare. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in clinical nursing, excellent communication and leadership skills, and experience with digital healthcare systems.

This is a critical time in the Trust's digital journey as we prepare to launch a number of digital projects including digitisation of records, communication systems, electronic prescribing and administration and a range of other applications that will significantly improve patient safety and quality of care. You will oversee the Neonatal BadgerNet project, liaising with doctors, nursing staff and a range of other clinicians and IT specialists. You will ensure all clinical staff are adequately trained and will provide input into all aspects of these projects.

The Digital Lead Nurse/AHP role will help lead the implementation of Neonatal BadgerNet at SaTH. This will encompass the engagement of clinical staff in capturing requirements, understanding clinical workflows and the provision of professional advice, enabling the use of digital technology to be embedded into clinical practice.

The postholder will be expected to provide crucial leadership and support in the implementation of our BadgerNet system, collaborating closely with the Neonatal Consultant Digital Lead.

You will play a vital role in the Neonatal Digital Transformation program, working alongside senior leaders, nurses of all banding, neonatal consultants, and service managers.

Additionally, you will spearhead the comprehensive training rollout for all neonatal services in preparation for the Badgernet Neonatal EPR launch in 2026. Flexibility is essential, as you will represent the digital team in meetings and contribute to data quality and other digital initiatives as needed.
