We appreciate our extraordinary volunteers, who give their time and skills to help us support our patients and their families.
One of our primary connections to the community is through our wonderful volunteers. Over 500 extraordinary ordinary people give their time and skills to help us support our patients, their families and our staff.
Our volunteers come from varied backgrounds with many life experiences and skills; they range from retirees to students. They carry out various tasks including:
- Transporting patients to and from hospital appointments
- Accompanying patients to their ward or clinic
- Providing pastoral and spiritual care
- Providing information and directions to patients and visitors to the hospital
- Providing administrative assistance such as mail outs, preparation of patient charts, laminating, collating and photocopying
- Providing a book and magazine service to patients and delivering flowers to patients
- Delivering prescriptions to pharmacy or collecting charts and x-rays
- Assisting in the hospital gift shops
- Spending time with patients
