Volunteers will attend in hospital events, for example a volunteer might be participating in an afternoon tea with the patients. Responsibilities could also include transporting patients to where they would like to go in the hospital; on the roof terrace for some fresh air, in the lobby for visits, or to other locations in the hospital that the patient wishes to go.
