The solution replaces the need for pathologists to interact with glass slides, which have historically been packaged and transported when second opinions are needed.

In a board report, published in August 2025, Matthew Hopkins, chief executive at MSEFT, said: “The single system – replacing 10 separate ones currently in use by us and colleagues at Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust – will transform how we work together as a single health system to deliver seamless care to people living in mid and south Essex.
A spokesperson for the trusts said that the EPR is expected to go live in phases from winter 2026 until spring 2027 to improve how clinicians access patients’ health and care information in real-time through a unified single system that aligns physical and mental health care provision.
