Volunteer Work

Yay finally got all my forms for volunteer work at Frenchay Hospital :) There are literally like 20 forms to fill out and I have to do a CRB check which is interesting :D

Anybody else do/doing Volunteer work at a hospital?

not a hospital, but i was thinking of applying to be a 'special constable' for GMP

it's better than community support because you get a full belt of weapons n cuffs etc, full uniform, you can arrest people etc. it's just like being a constable except voluntary.

would look great on a CV :)

I work for Peverted Justice, we bust pedophiles and co-ordinate police stings.

Did it last November, was pretty good.

It is greatly rewarding when you've set up a sting with the police and basically had someone arrested, but it's a very horrifying and sickening process, you wouldn't believe what I have to do, but very satisfying if it all works in our favour.

I get paid for my work.

Yes but funnily enough you have to have a degree to work as a real doctor hence why I am volunteering for work "Experience" ;)

If you want to take a degree in Medicine, Dentistry etc then you have to have had experience in a hospital/surgey and the only way to get this is by volunteering - it shows you're commited to the course, know it's what you want tto take and have some sort of knowledge of working hospital life.
