Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Wigan, Lancashire, United Kingdom

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a large NHS provider in Greater Manchester. It has a close working relationship with Altera that dates back to 2014, when it announced that it would use Sunrise™ to develop an electronic patient record that it calls the Health Information System, or HIS.

The trust went live with Sunrise in 2016 and is now using the most recent version, Sunrise 18.4. In November 2019, it became the first NHS organisation to open a digital experience centre with Altera, on the site of the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan.
