Answering all incoming and internal calls to the Trust in a responsive and professional manner, ensuring requests are dealt with quickly and efficiently. The weekly call volumes are anywhere between 10,000 - 13,000 calls as well as connecting internal teams together.

We are the first point of contact for worried patients, concerned family > members, the public and professional services and partnership organisations who contact the Trust as well as all internal users.

At times busy and pressured, we put out all Emergency team alerts across the hospitals ensuring the correct staff are contacted as a priority. We also prepare the on-call rota for the Trust to use. We monitor and report all hospital alarms from Fire alarms to people stuck > in lifts, to gas cylinders that need changing. The operators have to be very resilient and patient,dealing with very emotional, frustrated and angry callers at times.
