Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is embarking on a major digital transformation through the implementation of the award-winning Nervecentre Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. This programme will play a key role in improving the quality, safety, and experience of patient care across the organisation.

We are seeking an experienced and driven Clinical Change Manager to lead and deliver impactful change initiatives within a healthcare environment.
