Job summary
Principal Trainer Epic Thrive Project - 18 month fixed term contract
We are looking for an experienced Epic Principal Trainer to lead a significant piece of work that will transform the way we deliver induction training for our new staff.
Great Ormond Street Hospital is undertaking a significant Programme of work with the aim of supporting our staff to be happy and efficient users of our Epic EPR. The postholder will use their knowledge and experience of Epic training delivery to play a significant part in one of the projects by leading the transformation of our induction training and converting our current lesson plans into e-learning, with the support of a small team of e-learning producers.
Since the pandemic most of our induction training is delivered virtually and we know that this has not always been the most effective way to teach and new members of staff do not always begin their roles with the Epic skills necessary to be effective and efficient. The aim of this project is to transform the way we train new starters by using e-learning that is delivered in a classroom with 'at the elbow' help from a trainer, followed up by a 1:1 session with a trainer a few weeks later in their place of work.
Main duties of the job
The duties of the role will include:
Hold overall responsibility for the creation of e-learnings and exercise booklets to support the updating and redesign of Epic induction training to new starters.
Participate in Thrive Efficiency Sprints with our users to support updated or new workflow design, training system build and curriculum.
To work with the Senior Trainer and Credential Trainers to ensure MST (our training system), our training curriculum and course materials are up to date and applicable to current staff group workflows.
Work closely with Application Teams, our Connect partners at The Royal Marsden Hospital and our EPR Supplier Epic.
Report on key milestones and related benefits to Project Manager and Programme Board
If you are an experience Epic Principal Trainer we would love to hear from you.
