Job description

Are you an IT professional with a development background and experience or interest in healthcare integration? Do you want to learn something new and take on a challenge? Does improving and supporting patients' healthcare make you happy? If so, join us as an Integration Engineer in our ITCS Technology-Integration Team and help build integrations between specialist systems and Epic

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to be involved in developing and supporting the integration of clinical systems across the hospitals under GSTT and KCH NHS Foundation Trusts.

The role involves analysing integration messages and technologies, working with ITCS teams, the NHS community, and suppliers (eg, labs, imaging, prescribing) to integrate systems with the Epic EHR via Epic Bridges and InterSystems HealthConnect. You will work on new integration projects and support existing ones across the two Trusts.

You will be a team player, able to work independently, and mentor colleagues from diverse backgrounds. This role involves meeting project deadlines and can be challenging. You must juggle multiple, sometimes conflicting deadlines and maintain strong relationships with the end-user community and programme team. Strong communication skills, including the ability to break down barriers of understanding across teams are essential.

We seek motivated individuals eager to learn and enthusiastic about healthcare informatics, ready to engage with ITCS colleagues and share their enthusiasm.

The post holder will be responsible for development, testing,

maintenance, deployment and support of the Integration Engine interfaces across the Enterprise as well as supporting Epic Bridges interfaces across both Trusts.

The incumbent will manage Interfaces service desk tickets in accordance with trust SLAs and handling of Epic Bridges Error triaging. This involves collaborating with relevant ITCS teams and assisting in clearing Bridges error work queues. The post holder will be responsible for ensuring the

interface documentation is consistently updated.

Additionally, the post holder will oversee the impact of interfaces during Epic upgrades in the Trust, controlling the interface delivery life cycle, and communicating any significant changes with the Work stream Leads.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH) are two of London’s largest and busiest teaching hospitals, with a long and proud history, international reputations for their speciality services, teaching and research excellence, and a strong profile of local services to local residents in south east London. Together the Trusts have an annual turnover of nearly £3bn and employ around 30,000 staff, with main GSTT sites at St Thomas’ Hospital and Guy’s Hospital, and main KCH sites at King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, the Princess Royal University Hospital, Bromley and Orpington Hospital. The Trusts are key partners within King’s Health Partners AHSC (KHP), and Guy’s and St Thomas’ merged with the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS FT (RBH) in the Spring of 2021.

The two Trusts share a Chief Digital Information Officer (CDIO) and a vision for digital services that are lean and agile, that maximise the benefits of a shared service operating model, and deliver the digital ambition for both Trusts. This ambition is supported by a forward-looking and strategic approach, and significant investment in a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) which will catalyse a programme of work across both Trusts to transform the way technology and data is used across our services. We will increase the care that can be provided at home, build our focus on wellness and prevention, and engage patients as partners in their care.
