Our long-term
digital vision
At Gloucestershire Hospitals, we’re building a digital future that genuinely improves everyday life for the people who matter most, our patients and the colleagues who care for them.
Our long-term digital programme aligns with the NHS 10-Year Forward Plan and focuses on transforming traditional, analogue processes into modern, intuitive, and secure digital solutions. Everything we do is shaped by nationally recognised standards, including NHS England’s What Good Looks Like framework.
By building our digital strategy around these principles, we’re creating something meaningful: safer care, smoother workflows, and a future-ready NHS that brings the best of innovation into every ward and service.
If you want to be part of a team shaping that future – and see the impact of your work across an entire organisation – this is the place to do it.

how they work together
Brilliant Basics
Everything starts with strong foundations. We’re investing in reliable clinical systems, modern infrastructure, and secure, resilient data environments. When the essentials are robust, teams can work efficiently, confidently, and without interruption.
Digital Confidence for Everyone
Technology only makes a difference when people feel empowered to use it. That’s why we’re committed to building digital skills and confidence across the organisation. From frontline staff to corporate teams, we want everyone to get the best out of the tools we’re introducing.
Future-Proofing Our Digital Landscape
With strong basics and a digitally confident workforce, we can move forward boldly. We’re developing enterprise architecture, enhancing shared care records, and strengthening cyber security to keep our systems modern, connected, and secure. This isn’t just about today, it’s about shaping the future of care for Gloucestershire and beyond.
“Digital plays a key role in how we turn our ambitions into better care. Every day we partner with clinical teams to remove friction, unlock insights and make a tangible difference for patients and staff. Whatever part of the digital and data profession you are from, if you’re curious, collaborative and driven by public service, come and help us build trusted, human centred technology for the NHS for better care."Lee Pester,
