Doctors IT Training


Welcome to UHD. There are lots of IT applications you will need to use whilst at UHD. Below is a summary of the training courses covering the majority of what you need. There is also information about other IT applications and how to get access/training on them.



BEFORE YOU START

This course covers the main systems you will need on day one: EPR and the systems than connect with it:

  • Evolve EDM – scanned documents
  • ICE – request/file diagnostic tests
  • PACS – radiology images
  • ED Agyle view – Emergency Department information

If you don’t already have access to the National Care Records Service, you can complete NCRS course. NCRS provides access to national patient information to improve clinical decision making and healthcare outcomes. It is where you can view Child Protection – Information Sharing (CP-IS) service.

All prescribing is done electronically except for Paediatrics. Complete EPMA training for access. You will not have your ESR assignment number yet, so once you have completed the eLearning, enter your GMC Registration Number in FULL at the end of the course and then immediately email that same number plus your name, job title and contact details to EPMAPHT@uhd.nhs.uk.
