Hospital friends seek volunteers for patient trolley service
Patients and staff at Cannock Chase Hospital have welcomed the re-introduction of the ward trolley service which had to cease during the pandemic.
Stafford and Cannock League of Hospital Friends are recruiting volunteers to operate the service to patients who cannot get to the league’s popular cafe.
Senior Operational Therapy Assistants, Amanda Evans and Jenny Walker, welcomed the service onto their ward exclaiming “this is a great idea!”
On the first day of operation the trolley visited all departments around the hospital and the League’s Volunteer Coordinator Christine Foster said: “The first day of operation has been well received throughout”.
Initially the service will operate on Tuesdays and Fridays, but it is hoped to expand this to a daily service once more volunteers are recruited.
Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer should visit the League’s website, staffordandcannocklof.org or pick up an application form from the Meet & Greet hub located near the second-floor entrance of Cannock Chase Hospital.
