Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust is about to go live with an integrated electronic patient record (EPR) system from Nervecentre.
The first phase of the trust-wide EPR programme at Harrogate and District is scheduled to begin in November 2025, with subsequent phases planned for April 2026 and September 2026.
It is part of a joint EPR programme with York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which will commence the go-live of its EPR on 27 February 2026
Dr Jacqueline Andrews, executive medical director and executive lead for digital at Harrogate and District, told Digital Health News: “Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to be partnering with Nervecentre to implement our new integrated electronic patient record.
“Having the right information at the right time in a user-friendly way will significantly improve our colleague and patient experience and the quality of care we can provide.”
Harrogate and District and Yorkshire and Scarborough selected Nervecentre as their preferred EPR supplier in August 2024, with the contract to supply both trusts expected to last 10 years.
The trust’s board paper, published on 24 September 2025, states that in 2024-25, the first year of its EPR programme “focused on completing the business case and procuring the EPR solution”.
It adds that 2025/26 and 2026/27 will be focused on delivering the EPR solution and “delivering enhanced functionality, optimising the solution and starting to realise benefits”.
Meanwhile, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust also went live with a Nervecentre EPR over the first weekend of November 2025, with the trust confirming to Digital Health News on 3 November 2025 that it was still in the go-live process with its outpatient teams moving onto the system.
Sarah Hopkins, digital nurse at Nottingham University Hospitals, posted on LinkedIn: “It’s Go Live weekend at NUH for our EPR Upgrade with Nervecentre Software.
“PAS, Theatres, Outpatients, Outpatient Orders and Messaging. It’s a big weekend for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.”
Nottingham University Hospital first announced that it had chosen Nervecentre as its preferred supplier in February 2024, after a competitive procurement process on the Health Systems Support Framework Agreement.
Nervecentre has established a strong presence in the Midlands, with Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust selecting the firm as their preferred EPR supplier.
Other sites which have deployed the supplier’s EPR include University Hospitals of Derby and Burton Foundation Trust, Chesterfield Royal Hospital Foundation Trust, Northampton General Hospital and East Sussex Healthcare.
A source told Digital Health News that Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, one of the last remaining acute trusts without an EPR under NHSE’s Frontline Digitisation programme, is also expected to announce Nervecentre as its preferred EPR bidder. Liverpool University Hospitals declined to comment.
