Hi everyone, we’re at a really exciting stage of our Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (EPMA) project in Jersey hospital. From Monday we are starting to get our user testing underway- look out for us on the wards! Thanks @WellSkyIntl
Celebrating Sam’s new job as Lead nurse - unscheduled care @GovJersey. Well done my wonderful wife!
Really interesting couple of days at the JAC (Wellsky) annual conference. Great to hear about how EPMA will be developed over the next few months / years and today’s session on managing clinical risk. Thanks @JACMedicines #HCSEPMA

Yesterday we had our first #EPMA prescribers forum. Helping us to set up and develop our e-prescribing system. #HCS. Thank you for your support @Valter_Jsy @AJMoss77 @alistaircannon and many others....
Hoping our e-prescribing project will help with this @Valter_Jsy. Having a nice clear electronic chart should help improve hand overs and make the chart more accessible to everyone. #HCS #EPMA

Couldn’t agree more #EPMA - bring it on Jersey!
Some people think that ‘dispensing or checking like a machine’ is an admirable quality above others but you know who else can dispense like a machine better than you, a machine.
So stop dispensing like a machine and start talking to patients like a healthcare professional.
