About The Role
Our client, a consultancy supporting an NHS client, is seeking an experienced Technical Architect to join a major Electronic Patient Record (EPR) programme and provide independent technical leadership and assurance across the programme's end-to-end architecture.
This is a key role within the programme, responsible for establishing a clear, deliverable, and assured technical architecture across integration, infrastructure, security, testing, and data.
The successful candidate will provide constructive challenge to suppliers and internal delivery teams, identify technical risks and dependencies early, and ensure that architectural decisions support both successful EPR implementation and the organisation's longer-term digital and technology strategy.
You will operate at the intersection of programme delivery, clinical systems, technology, suppliers, and organizational strategy, translating complex technical requirements into practical and deliverable solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Architecture
- Develop and maintain the end-to-end technical architecture for the EPR programme.
- Define target architecture across applications, integration, infrastructure, security, data, environments, and operational services.
- Establish architectural principles, standards, patterns, assumptions, and constraints.
- Ensure technical architecture is scalable, resilient, secure, supportable, and future-proof.
- Maintain architecture decisions and ensure they are appropriately governed.
Integration and Interoperability
- Define the EPR integration architecture and strategy across clinical, corporate, and external systems.
- Rationalize existing and proposed interfaces, identifying duplication, unnecessary complexity, and opportunities for simplification.
- Map technical dependencies, interfaces, and end-to-end data flows.
- Provide technical leadership on interoperability using appropriate standards and technologies, including HL7, FHIR, APIs, and messaging.
- Identify integration risks and dependencies early and ensure they are reflected in programme planning.
