Marketing communications volunteer Holly Willis discusses how she is using her filming expertise to support Saint Francis Hospice.
I reached out to Saint.
Education plays such a vital role in supporting staff and volunteers to have all the capabilities they require to navigate these new digital ways of working.
While we value the importance of face-to-face teaching, by providing a digital alternative we will also be able to extend our reach and accessibility to all.
My ambition for the role is to continue to support staff in developing their digital literacy knowledge and skills, develop technology-enabled education that is based on a connection with the people we care for at the centre, and form digital networks with other organisations in the sector.
Since starting in February, I have been speaking to lots of staff about their learning needs.
Aromatherapy blends were provided as well as activity sheets and quizzes to keep patients at home occupied.
We also carried on doing weekly phone calls for the patients who used to attend our day services at Pemberton Place, and we did some conference calls so that the patients could talk to each other as well.
Then we started doing monthly mindfulness sessions as conference calls - these have carried on and the number of patients attending has increased.
Throughout all this, members of our team also trained to do the Covid-19 testing in our Pepperell Education Centre and continue to do this still now.
