Types of volunteering roles in hospitals
There are many roles open to volunteers in hospitals. Some roles involve working with hospital staff, while others involve spending time with patients. For example, you might help staff with administrative tasks, or you might sit with a patient during an eye operation. Often volunteers spend time talking to patients who don’t have friends or family members to visit them.
It is up to you how much time you spend volunteering each week or month. However, individual trusts may ask you to commit to volunteering for a certain period of time, for example six months. Normally, volunteers are asked to be available at the same time each week or month. This allows the hospital staff to know in advance how much help they will have each day.
