CUDECA RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN FOR PATIENT TRANSPORT VOLUNTEERS


Cudeca Hospice is very short of Patient Transport Volunteers so we are running a Recruitment Campaign.

Patient Transport Volunteers help Cudeca by driving patients to the Day Centre located at our Hospice in Arroyo de la Miel.  Volunteers drive their own car (fuel expenses paid)  from the patient’s house to Cudeca and when the activities of the Day Centre have finished, they drive them back to their house.  Patients are normally brought to the Centre between 9.30am to 10am and taken home at around 1pm to 1.30pm

Sometimes volunteers drive patients to their Hospital appointments.

Volunteers attend a specialised training course to prepare them for their volunteer work.  They will learn about different aspects of Palliative Care, communication and also mobilisation of the patients.

For those interested in becoming a Patient Transport Volunteer, please contact the Volunteer Department on 952 56 49 10 or email voluntariado@cudeca.org 

Because we are urgently in need of volunteers for this special area of Cudeca care, your co-operation with the campaign will be truly appreciated, as we have patients now, waiting to be brought into the Day Care Centre to benefit from the various therapies, rehabilitation etc.
