Volunteer Kate Pointon knows what it’s like to be a patient on the Neurosurgery ward at The Alfred – it’s where she spent three months last year recovering from a brain aneurysm. Now, she’s one of the first “Host Volunteers”, providing patients on the Neurosurgery and Trauma wards with companionship and conversation.
Alfred Health is encouraging current and former patients, and family members, to improve care by joining the health service as a volunteer consumer advisor.
Caulfield Hospital volunteer Peter Watson was named Outstanding Adult Volunteer in the Victorian Premier's Volunteer Champions Awards 2015.
