Nervecentre provide a single, integrated digital patient record across the trust's hospitals: Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital and Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

James Sumner, group chief executive of NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, which Liverpool University Hospitals is part of, said: ‘This is a significant step forward in our digital journey. It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform how we work and how we care for our patients. We look forward to working together with Nervecentre to deliver this programme with strong clinical leadership, transparency and collaboration at its heart.'

LUHFT said it will also continue to work with Liverpool Women's Hospital, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, The Walton Centre and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, as they progress towards adopting the same EPR system. The move is part of the long-term vision for a shared EPR across Liverpool's adult and specialist services.

Paul Volkaerts, chief executive of Nervecentre, said: ‘We are delighted that Liverpool University Hospitals has chosen Nervecentre as its EPR supplier. This partnership will bring a further 1,600 hospital beds onto the Nervecentre EPR platform, which has been designed from the ground up to support collaboration between hospitals while delivering the intuitive digital tools clinicians need on the frontline. We look forward to working with LUHFT to help realise their vision for more connected, digitally enabled care across the city.'
