Guide volunteers
Our guide volunteers are an essential part of our volunteering programme as they would often be the first person a patient would see.
You will meet and greet patients and visitors when they arrive at the hospital and direct or guide them to the appropriate ward or department.
No two days are ever the same volunteers may be required to help patients with wheelchairs if they are able to and are wheelchair trained. Our volunteers also assist to ensure there are enough wheelchairs at the hospital entrances.
