Meet super user Emily Bradley

Midwife Emily Bradley (left) is a super user on Maternity 2. She’s been giving guidance and support to colleagues as they get to grips with Unity, starting with the lead-up to go-live.

“I was making sure that everyone was going on the Play System, they’d had their training and they felt comfortable. I had extra training to make sure I knew what I was doing when Unity went live and I distributed the pocket guides out to people,” she said.

As with most areas, there was some initial stress and uncertainty involved with adapting to new ways of working but things have settled down over the last couple of weeks and some of the benefits are coming through.

“The first day of go-live wasn’t great, but the next day was better. We found a few issues as we went along but any time we’ve reported anything it’s been fixed,” said Emily.

“Unity seems quicker when we’re doing bloods for mums and babies. We’re not having to fill out a form, we can literally just put on a label and send it across. That seems to be saving a bit of time.”
