Ward Grandparent Scheme |
The
new Ward Grandparent Scheme at Campbelltown Hospital was
launched on 12 March 2008, with our president, David Bennett
representing AWCH at the launch. Two articles in local papers
resulted in over 50 enquiries about volunteering with the
Scheme; thirty information packs were sent out; one ward
grandparent has commenced and five applications have been
received! More enquiries are coming in and Campbelltown
is busy preparing for the training sessions of the appointed
ward grandparents.

The
process of setting up the Scheme with AWCH involvement is
a good example of consumer and professional partnerships
resulting in a very well prepared program of volunteering
and the opportunity to raise AWCH profile in both the community
and the health service.
Our
ward grandparents at The Children's Hospital at Westmead
were recently given a pampering by Woman's Day magazine
in recognition of the wonderful work they do for children
and families. The article appeared on the magazine on 03
March 2008 and highlighted the wonderful work and dedication
of the ward grandparents.
