Hi

I was wondering if anyone else has been asked to pick up the NHS Responder role within their organisation since the closure of the service by RVS.

Our virtual ward used this service and its made a real difference to them so I would like to help- I am just not 100% sure what checks would need to be in place to take this on or if it will turn into a bit of a monster....The volunteers from RVS were collecting equipment and medications and delivering them to the patients homes.

Any advice will be greatly received! :-)

From

Sarah

Hi Sarah

We have a long established "in-house" volunteer driver service at NNUH which we use for non-complex patient discharge, medication and equipment deliveries and virtual ward kit collections... I would be more than happy to arrange a catch up if you think it would be useful: sally.dyson@nnuh.nhs.uk
