If you run into any issues not covered in the guidance please contact the SOAR helpdesk.  To contact the SOAR helpdesk you can either:

• Send an email to SOAR@nes.scot.nhs.uk; or
• Click on the 'Helpdesk' box to the right of the screen when logged in to SOAR and fill out the relevant details

When contacting the SOAR helpdesk:

• Provide your user details including GMC number
• Give as much detail about your query as you can

As a general rule, if you have a previous helpdesk ticket but have a new query:

• DO NOT reply to the old ticket
• Send a new email/ticket

Responses to an old ticket that has been closed will NOT be processed by the helpdesk system.  You will be notified as such and be asked to send a new ticket in.
