Emma Murphy

I consider myself to be a friendly, hard working, reliable, efficient and responsible person. I am always willing to learn new tasks. I enjoy working both independently and as part of a team. 

I am a qualified receptionist and I achieved this by doing an NVQ in Hotel Reception in September 1999 through to June 2000. I enjoyed studying for this immensely, as I was able to use the ability I have to work on a one-to-one basis with people and also in large groups. This involved remaining calm and collected in sometimes difficult situations. I am a qualified medical secretary and I have passed my AMSPAR Medical Secretarial Diploma. This was a thoroughly interesting course to study and involved learning medical terminology, Health and Social Studies, Communications and Secretarial Practice. Whilst studying for this course, as well as Hotel Reception, I was able to achieve my IT qualifications, which have helped me a great deal with my employment positions since leaving college. 

I am lucky enough to have had experience as a legal secretary, working for an insolvency practice, and I am grateful I was given the opportunity to broaden my horizon and try something different. However, most of my experience is that of a medical secretary, within the NHS; that is what I trained to do and have a real passion for. 

I currently work in a busy GP practice as the Administration Manager. 

Unfortunately, it was recently announced that there are redundancies to be made within the Practice and my role is potentially one of them, along with 4 other members of my team. I am therefore looking to find something within my skill set, and ideally match my current wage (top of CV).
