SUMMARY:Volunteering: The Golden Thread in Health
DESCRIPTION:A free conference to explore how the NHS\, the third sector and other health and social care partners can collaborate to create high-quality impact volunteering that enhances service delivery and patient outcomes. \nThe conference will explore how colleagues across NHS and third sector can work together to create high-quality volunteering  in NHS settings\, focussing on volunteering that enhances safe\, effective and person centred care for patients. \nEvery day across Scotland volunteers in health settings give their time and energy to help make a difference to the lives of patients. Volunteers can help save staff time\, increase patient satisfaction\, improve patient outcomes and provide a life enhancing experience for volunteers themselves. Over many decades the NHS has developed its own volunteer roles and engaged its own volunteers directly\, and the NHS also partners with charities and other third sector organisations to deploy additional volunteers in NHS settings. \nSince 2011 the Scottish Health Council has hosted the Volunteering in NHS Scotland programme which supports boards to develop and embed the volunteer contribution to health service delivery. To complement the national programme\, in 2016 VHS set up Clear Pathway\, a short-life project to explore how the third sector and health boards can best work together and develop good practice so that third sector volunteering in health settings is always safe\, patient centred and effective. \nConference themes include: \n\nThe Lampard Report: safety and protection in volunteering\nGame changing ideas and innovation in volunteering\nDisclosure Scotland PVG scheme policy review\nRecruitment\, induction and training\nCross sectoral partnerships on volunteering\nProposed guidance to enhance third sector volunteering in health\nBeyond the NHS: volunteering in integrated care settings\n\nThis conference will be of interest and relevance to: NHS staff including volunteering strategic leads\, voluntary services managers\, procurement and commissioners; health charities; local third sector interfaces; other volunteer engaging organisations. \nContributors include: \nShona Robison MSP\, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport\, Scottish Government \nShulah Allan\, Vice Chair\,  NHS Lothian \nJullie Tran Graham\, Programme Manager\, Health Lab\, NESTA \nJane Ferguson\, Foundation Director\, Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation \nChris Burghes\, Executive Director\, Royal Free Charity \nTracey Passway\, Clinical Governance and Risk Management Team Lead\, NHS Tayside \nMarion Findlay\, Director of Services\, Volunteer Edinburgh  \nAngela Farr\, Service Manager\, Volunteer Edinburgh \nLinda Walker\, Head Occupational Therapist (Forensic Psychiatry\, Adult Mental Health & Older People Mental Health)\, NHS Lothian \nPaul Okroj\, Head of Volunteering\, Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland  and Chair of Scottish Volunteering Forum \nRob Murray\, Scotland Manager\, Changing Faces \nJacqueline Campbell – Health and social care integration\, Scottish Government \nClaire Stevens\, Chief Officer\, Voluntary Health Scotland \nBook your place here \nVolunteering Golden Thread Agenda \nGolden Thread in Health Conference Speakers \nTwitter for Volunteering Conference \nWe have a limited number of exhibition spaces available at the event and sponsor options: Volunteering Conference Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities \nA full agenda will be available shortly.
