GOSH to share EPR systems with The Royal Marsden
Great Ormond Street Hospital and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust have signed an agreement to share a single electronic patient record system.
GOSH introduced Epic as its patient record system in 2017. The benefits of Epic become especially clear during the pandemic, where it has helped the hospital to deliver the best care for its children and young people often remotely.
In September 2020, GOSH became the first hospital in the country to achieve the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Stage 7, which measures a hospital’s digital maturity.
Now, GOSH will be supporting The Royal Marsden to share the Epic system. The platform will be based on the GOSH Epic system, with skills and expertise shared to benefit patients at both trusts. The partnership will also save money that can then be invested back into GOSH and patients.
The Royal Marsden will start the project this August, with a planned launch date of March 2023.
Matt Shaw, CEO of GOSH, said: “No one at GOSH can imagine life without Epic now and it’s transformed our hospital for the better in the couple of years it’s been in place. We’re really looking forward to working even more closely with another innovative organisation like the Royal Marsden in a way that will benefit even more patients.”

Their concern rose with discovery the flame retardant paints most widely used paint along escape routes have been ones which to this day counter-productively use emission of heavy toxic gas to smother flames which rapidly spread along walls if layers of paint delaminate in a fire.
