VOLUNTEERS are needed to help reduce waiting times across University Hospitals Dorset.

A new outpatient assessment clinic is being created to help tackle patient waiting lists in the Dolphin Centre in Poole.

Everyone is invited to visit and learn more about volunteering with UHD's 'think big' initiative at Gather, on the ground floor opposite Beales entrance in the Dolphin Centre, from Tuesday 9 to Thursday 11 November.

The clinic will be opening in December on the top floor of Beales.

Staff from the hospitals will also be showcasing the volunteer opportunities available to help run the clinics smoothly and you will be able to sign up to be involved in this exciting project that will make a huge difference to care in our region.

Please contact ThinkBig.Volunteers@uhd.nhs.uk for more information or to book an informal interview at Gather on these dates between 10am and 3pm.

There will also be an opportunity to learn more about the wider development plans of Poole, Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals and to give your opinion on our services to our governors.
