This is a rare opportunity for an experienced midwife to shape and deliver the maternity component of a single Electronic Patient Record (EPR) across three acute Trusts within the Norfolk and Waveney system. As a Digital Midwife, you will lead the clinical design and implementation of the perinatal record, ensuring it supports safe, high-quality care and aligns with national standards.

You will work closely with midwifery, obstetric and neonatal teams to translate clinical practice into effective digital workflows, influencing system build, testing, training and adoption. The role also includes supporting organisational readiness, championing digital ways of working, and driving continuous improvement post go-live.
