The iClipPro EPR has gone live across St George’s, Epsom and St Helier Hospitals, integrating multiple systems across the trusts’ sites, and covering more than 17,000 colleagues with an aim of minimising duplication and streamlining administrative tasks.
Planning for the go-live involved the migration of patient information from “a number of historic systems and paper records”, according to an update from St George’s, whilst new tech and software has been installed to help speed up observations, monitoring, and prescribing. The programme means that all hospitals in the group will be using the same system, across sites.
The group’s launch plan provided support for staff, with a range of e-learning modules available from the Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust website.
Jacqueline Totterdell, group CEO, called the go-live “a significant and exciting moment”, adding: “iClipPro will make a real difference for our staff and patients – keeping data secure, reducing delays and supporting clinicians by providing comprehensive access to the information they need.”
Wider trend: Electronic patient records
A recent HTN Now webinar focused on optimising and adding value to EPRs, with an expert panel including Ciara Moore, unified EPR programme director at Mid and South Essex and Essex Partnership University; Neill Crump, digital strategy director at Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust; Stacey Spence, EPR programme manager at Medway NHS FT; and Andrew Harrison, product manager at Imprivata.
A separate panel discussion with Clare Green, transformation manager at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and Mike Odling-Smee, CEO of Aire Innovate, explored the advantages of digital transformation from within at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, with our panel talking us through how LTHT engages clinicians to shape its in-house electronic health record, supporting flexibility, scalability and resilience across Leeds and the wider region.
Elsewhere, an NHS England board meeting discussing operational, performance, delivery, and digital, data and technology updates, noted the Frontline Digitisation programme is on track for 96 percent of trusts to have implemented an EPR by March 2026. As of March 2025, 19 trusts are listed as having no EPR, but are in the process of procuring, or implementing one.
