As one of many measures as we get ready for Electronic Patient Records, (EPR) our Deputy Director of Nursing for Modernisation, Jackie Murphy and Project Nurse Dianne Ashton met with a small group of international nurses to talk them through the new  system.

Jackie, said:  "Before we talked about it we asked them how they were feeling. All said they were nervous. Yet after our chat and run through of what the system looks like, all bar one said they felt much more reassured".

"Our nurses from Spain were really positive about introducing EPR as  it is already in widespread use over there. All were impressed we'll have a single source of patient data, and along with their positive exeprience of using Nervecentre they feel it's going to be a great step forward for our patients."
