Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust joins Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as Epic system users.

Ben Travis, chief executive of Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, said: ‘Signing the contract with Epic is a major milestone for Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. This is a major digital system change and a significant clinical and operational step forward for the trust. It will help us improve how information is recorded, shared and used across our services, support staff with better access to information, and create a better experience for patients.'

The programme is expected to go-live in April 2027. Ahead of that, the trust will continue a major programme of staff, patient and partner engagement, alongside the training, preparation and implementation work needed to support a safe transition.
