The Electronic Staff Record (ESR) is an integrated HR and payroll system procured nationally by the UK government and is free to use for all NHS organisations.
Chambury Learning Solutions have worked with the NHS Improvement and ESR Teams to create an interface designed to transfer learning completions bi-directionally between the NHS ESR and Totara.
The link provides a series of benefits and time and cost savings for NHS Trusts who use Totara. The link:
- Ensures that staff are not repeating unnecessary training which saves resources but also ensures that compliance/patient safety is maintained
- Maintains and updates Totara Certifications upon completion of ESR Competency Achievements
- Updates Totara profile fields with ESR data and promotes to permanent user accounts once hired
- Enables inbound and outbound one-to-one and one-to-manyrelationship mappings between ESR Competences and Totara Certifications
Join us for a webinar in which we’ll go behind the scenes with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and York & Scarborough Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust to understand how the interface has been developed. We’ll also learn how the interface is helping these organisations daily.
