The Great Western Hospital in Swindon is pleased to have the goodwill of volunteers to help give the best care to our patients, their friends and families. Our volunteers help to provide the valuable link between the hospital and the community and often prompt us to see things from a different perspective. They not only provide help and support for patients and staff but feedback comments and ideas on behalf of the public. Each volunteer brings something special and unique and collectively build a highly efficient team. |

Working as a hospital volunteer can help you learn new skills, find out more about health care, meet new people and contribute to the community. The volunteer team in the Great Western Hospital has been recognised and awarded the Investors in People standard, not as part of the Trust as a whole, but in their own right, which is a tremendous achievement. We also receive a patient escort service from the WRVS. The Red Cross provide volunteers who undertake Therapeutic Massage and training in 'camouflage' makeup for patients with wounds/blemishes. The British Red Cross Independent Living Services respond to people’s short-term health and social care needs. Volunteers DO make a difference every day! Your few hours a week greatly contribute to the well-being of our patients and help them gain self esteem and satisfaction through interaction and creativity. In turn, the contribution you make is greatly appreciated by the Trust. |
