NHS England has commissioned NCVO to develop some guidance on Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in the NHS. This will build on recent guidance produced by NHS Employers and provide more detail. It would be great if you could share any thoughts that could feed into this guidance and some questions are below. We are also looking for examples of good practice so please share what you are up to! Please send thoughts and information to Kristen.Stephenson@ncvo.org.uk
Investing in Volunteers
We recently held and event for NHS Trusts on Investing in Volunteers (IiV) the quality assurance kitemark for volunteering. We had some great feedback – thank you to all the speakers and participants! The kitemark can be applied to any volunteering involving organisation. The process the organisation goes through to achieve the award and the recognition it brings make a real difference to the quality and impact of volunteering. If you would like more information on IiV please see: http://iiv.investinginvolunteers.org.uk/ If you would like any further information on how it can support current national health and care policy and the impact it has please contact sara.bordoley@nhs.net
NEW GUIDANCE: Helping in Hospitals – high impact volunteering
This practical guide explores how hospital trusts can take a more strategic approach towards volunteering and how the impact of volunteering can be measured through rigorous evaluation. The guide includes a four-step framework, supported by detailed advice, checklists, tools and examples drawn from the hospital trusts within the programme.
