In summer 2015 we have started discussions with Narodny Onkologicky Ustav (National Oncology Institute - NOU) about developing the volunteer program in this hospital. In September a new full time coordinator for both hospitals have started and the contract with NOU is going to be signed. In September we have also started a new recruitment process of volunteers for both hospitals. The leaflet is attached. Our volunteers are serving hot drinks and magazines every week day in ambulances and in the halls, attend the inpatient units – they sit and talk with patients in the rooms, they lead creative workshops lessons and play games with the patients. In September 2015 there is 18 regular volunteers in the inpatient units and in outpatients ‘department in OUSA.
We need the resources to:
- To start a new volunteer program in NOU in Bratislava – find resources to employ a part time person for the program implementation
- To find resources for provisions of free drinks (coffee, (ice) tea, cups, sugar, and milk) for patients waiting in the outpatients departments of both hospitals.
- To carry out other activities in the hospitals (clubs, crafting, library service, distribution of magazines, etc.) – to buy materials for clubs.
- Recruit and train new volunteers for all our activities in both hospitals – training is going to be held on the 24th of October 2015
