Mandatory for volunteering within a hospital ... you cannot do any volunteering if you don't do this ... A long list of do and do nots. You require to read all the rules even when you don't think it is relevant. In some trusts you wear a uniform regardless if you are in contact with patients or not ... There is no standard uniform where I am, only the rules of closed shoes, short sleeves only to enable washing of wrists as well as hands for infection control. No rings with stones in. Facial peicings removed .. the usual discreet cross or other faith item allowed if kept out of reach of confused or feisty patients ...
I have for this written rough virtual notes, This a journey which from the outset does not keep up with the latest trends and times. The hurdles for someone with destroyed records of life in a vocation and extensive unexpected time away from such a career. I cannot note or publish certain candour and confidential aspects, what I see or hear, stays where I see or hear.
It has already been a journey of challenges being within such a diverse setting ... an amazing network of a lot to get my head round. A lot of the usual reading in the chosen activity.
My introductionary time waiting with the volunteer coordinator of where what was. It was explained that I would be on the unit where the four hour A & E wait regulations came into play meant the decisions were made on this next stage within this unit to allocate where to go from there ... I replied I had read a hit to get to understand about how it operated and how the what was once called here the Clinical Decisions and how the unit functioned.
The role change that reduced waiting times in emergency care triage
