NHS 24 have created a youth forum to give young people an opportunity to influence NHS 24 services. This helps us to improve services and ensure they are accessible to young people. Our current members have had the opportunity to feedback a number of our services. We have also recently worked with Young Scot and provided feedback on some work they are doing in creating digital health services. We are keen to help our young people gain new skills, for example we have provided a training session on effective communication. The group meet 4 times per year and try to meet at different locations. We are registered with the Saltire Awards so they would be able to achieve certificates for volunteering with us. We also provide lunch on the day as well as any travel expenses.

Residents at the Walter and Joan Gray home all have individual care plans, within the care plans are recorded their interests and hobbies. The role of the volunteer person would be to visit residents and encourage them with their interests and hobbies. For some residents this may just be general chat, whilst others enjoy having the daily newspaper read to them. Some group work may also be required such as assisting staff with a baking group, an arts and crafts group, or reading group. Or perhaps you have hobbies and interests of your own which you are willing to share with others. During the spring and summer we arrange bus trips for residents and there may be an opportunity for the volunteer to accompany staff and residents on these trips. You will not be expected to assist residents with personal care, toileting or feeding.

Volunteers would be taken through how to use the Atom database system and talked with about what goes in the index. They would then be able to go and read the papers on the microfilm machine (which they'll also be taught to use) and record the contents so that others can find information more easily. Someone will always be on hand to help.
