    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I monitor the service desk through answering support calls from any of the 56k NHS staff who are (non) professional users of ESR. I action the Service Requests in the ticket queue from the forementioned callers or individual user action.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have become more comfortable with data, systems and technology. I've learnt about databases and how they interact with each other. As well as about the ESR structure in the NHS and how to address customers professionally through written and verbal communication. This has involved experience in conflict resolution also.
