00:00Here in the Northern Trust, how we work is changing. This Thursday, the 7th of
00:07November, we will be going digital and introducing Encompass, creating a single
00:13digital healthcare record for every person in our Trust area. This will mean
00:19paper records will be a thing of the past and your healthcare information
00:24will be available at the click of a button. As a result, you will see our
00:30staff using more electronic devices as this is how they will access information
00:37and data about your care. But while how we work may be changing, the care that we
00:45deliver will not. We remain committed to our vision of providing compassionate
00:52care with our community, in our community, and we believe Encompass will support us
00:59in that aim, delivering huge benefits for our patients and our service users. Team
01:08North staff have been working extremely hard to prepare for this major digital
01:13transformation, with months of planning and training across the entire Trust. As
01:20with any new system, we expect there could be some disruption to services
01:25while teams adapt to this new way of working, so please bear with us. We're
01:31working really hard to ensure that any potential disruption is kept to an
01:36absolute minimum for both patients and staff. Thank you for your support and for
01:43being a part of this digital milestone in healthcare. To find out more, please
01:49visit the Northern Trust website. Thank you.
