Our latest case study with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) showcases how the trust has embedded national clinical guidance into Altera Digital Health’s Sunrise EPR platform to transform the Acute Abdomen Pathway.
Leveraging the flexibility of Sunrise, the trust has significantly achieved improvements in patient outcomes, operational efficiency and quality of care, earning its first-ever Best Practice Tariff (BPT) for emergency laparotomy.
Dr. Andrew Starkie, Accident & Emergency Consultant at WWL, commented: "Embedding the pathway into our ED electronic patient record has substantially improved how we assess patients with an acute abdomen, enabling better risk stratification and more effective organisation of ongoing care."

Clinical Imformatics Radiology Team, together with our supplier getting the Hub ready for training on our new PACS-based reporting solution. Two weeks of intense training for our radiology reporters. Delivering another key digital change @WWLNHS
“If inefficient digital processes in our Emergency Department add just 60 seconds to each patient episode, the cumulative effect is equivalent to losing a full clinical team member every day.”
This insight from Dr Thomas Mitchell is a powerful reminder of why usability, intuitive workflows and system flexibility aren’t “nice‑to‑haves” in an EPR, they’re essential.
- Every extra click.
- Every unnecessary screen.
- Every delay in accessing information.
It all adds up. And in emergency care, those seconds matter.
At Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, clinicians like Dr Thomas Mitchell and Dr Constantin Jabarin are seeing the difference that the Altera EPR platform can make, minimising friction, improving flow and enabling safer, faster decision‑making when it counts most.
They recently joined Mark Hutchinson at the Healthcare Innovation Consortium EPR Summit to share how the Altera platform is delivering measurable improvements across emergency care, patient flow and clinical decision‑making and why unlocking the full value of your EPR is critical to supporting teams and improving patient outcomes.

Thank you to Tracey Richardson (Wardle) for sharing how she used her Give Back Day today.
Tracey spent her day supporting a charity bike ride raising funds for NICU departments at Barnsley and Tameside hospitals. These are two units that provide vital care for newborns and their families during some of the most challenging times.
We’re proud to support initiatives like this and to see our team giving back in such meaningful ways.
