The Common User Interface (CUI) programme needs NHS clinicians to take part in user feedback sessions

The CUI Programme needs volunteers to attend patient safety workshops and would also like to do on-site interviews at your place of work. Clinical feedback is essential for providing design guidance to help improve your IT systems.
They would like to talk to 10 clinicians in secondary care that complete admission clerking or initial nursing assessments on acute medical wards. This includes hospital doctors (particularly junior doctors) and acute nurses who regularly complete admissions as part of their role.
The emphasis for this workshop will be on the way in which clinical noting for such admissions is currently recorded / input and displayed (experience of paper and / or electronic systems both relevant). It will not be focussed on the clinical content, ie. the dataset for hospital admissions.
