Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust to implement new electronic patient record that will see better patient care this month
Patients across Coventry and Warwickshire will benefit from safer and more connected care as Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT) prepares to introduce a new Trust-wide electronic patient record (EPR) system at the end of January 2026.
Following a detailed procurement process last year, CWPT announced that SystmOne, powered by The Phoenix Partnership (TPP), had been selected as its new EPR.
The system will give clinical staff instant access to accurate, up-to-date patient information, helping them deliver more personalised, timely and coordinated care.
The investment is part of NHS England's £1.9 billion programme to ensure all NHS Trusts reach a core level of digital maturity. Over 90% of other Trusts already have an EPR in place, with full national coverage expected by March 2026.
CWPT's move marks a major step in its digital transformation journey. The new system will reduce delays, minimise duplication and create a smoother experience for patients. The introduction of the new EPR will help the Trust deliver high-quality, responsive care across mental health, learning disabilities, community and specialist services, while supporting future innovation.
During the implementation in the last week of January, CWPT will be doing things slightly differently as they close down Carenotes, , the Trust's outgoing EPR system, and start using SystmOne. This means some things might take a bit longer as staff get used to the system, but the quality of care will remain the same.
The implementation of the new EPR will transform the way CWPT cares for the people it serves.
