Youngsters complete hospice volunteer programme

Young people interested in a career in medicine have completed six-months’ volunteering at St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne.

The Young Clinical Volunteer (YCV) programme invites people aged 18 to 24 years old to spend four hours once a week with patients and their families on the Inpatient Unit. Over six months they learn about the 15 Standards of the Care Certificate, which includes basic life support, fluids and nutrition, and infection prevention and control.
