Volunteer Strategy
2023/2024 is also the first delivery year of the Volunteer Strategy 2023-2026, which was developed in collaboration and consultation with a wide range of staff, volunteers and partners. The Strategy adopts the principles of the Scottish Government Framework for Volunteering, ensuring that it:
- is flexible and responsive to the growing and changing needs of NHS GJ and our patients;
- enables and supports volunteers to move within and across services, to connect socially and to know that they are valued and valued and appreciated;
- meaningful and purposeful; and
- recognises the diversity of our Team Jubilee volunteers.
- These principles will inform our objectives over the next three years and raise the profile of volunteering at NHS Golden Jubilee.
The Volunteer Strategy Action Plan is currently being finalised in consultation with the Volunteer Forum. The Action Plan will describe the actions required against priority activities and detail their progress. This will be especially important with the opening of phase 2 of the hospital expansion from December 2023, which will require an increase in the number of volunteers, and a change in roles that they may take on.
