Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust

Gloucester, United Kingdom

In July 2021, GHFT embarked upon a critical part of its ongoing digital transformation programme—the go-live of its Sunrise EPR in its emergency departments. This was even more challenging as the hospitals were still recovering from the huge pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, including workforce shortages and increased demand. Despite this, through a successful and carefully managed change programme, GHFT effectively removed paper processes in its EDs overnight.
