If you are a Hospital Volunteer ... talking tips ...

Good morning everyone, I was just listening to BBC Breakfast - talking about publishing the number of nurses on duty - each day - on each ward. I'm not entering the debate here, the subject reminded me to share these 'Time to Chat' talking prompts with you ...

During my research into social interaction to really make a difference, many hospital and residential care home volunteer visitors expressed a difficulty in initiating and holding conversation with patients, especially patients who were living with dementia. Some volunteers commented that they felt unable to fulfil their generous role; chatting and cheering people up for well-being.

Sometimes, just talking is enough:
Time to Chat ~ Conversation Prompts ~ Places 
Time to Chat cards are wipe-clean - storage wallet included. Attractive images with brief introduction text. Handy for volunteers, carers, families ..

Introductory Special offer:
Choose from World War II, Pets & Animals, Flowers, People We Know, Recognise Objects.
