End-user training bookings are going really well with almost 56% of colleagues across CHFT booked on to a course in just four weeks.

Our main photo is Director of Operations for Medicine Asif Ameen jumping with joy at this week's figures. They show they've taken a lead at 67% sign-up. Asif, said:  "It's fantastic to see the support for training given by colleagues in the Medical division. Thanks to General Manager Gill Dolman and Project Manager Clare Simpson for their efforts in getting colleagues signed-up."

With Surgical and Anaesthetics hot on their heels here in the CHFT Weekly office (well Comms at Acre House) we're wondering what the scores on the doors will be next week.

Courses booked between 23 January and 21 February 2017:

Are you getting EPReady?

Gemma Berriman is. Watch her in a short film...she mentions the words "exciting" and "innovative" and says "I’ll guarantee, in 12 months' time we’ll look back and think why were we ever bothered about this - we’ll never want to see a piece of paper again!”

Gemma has been working alongside the EPR team for the past year as the system has been developed.   She's enthusiastic about the benefits it will bring and in this recent chat she talks about how it will improve how medication is administered, save time by giving the whole team access to a comprehensive record and make better use of everyone's time.

Her advice for colleagues is encouraging, saying "Go with it...."

You can see the film on the EPR website, which also has tonnes of other stuff about EPR, including benefits stories.
