---|---|
Purpose of the role | Medical appointments can be stressful and fast-paced. For some, it can be a daunting experience and feel they are not able to absorb all information. It can be beneficial therefore to have another person with them to offer support, reduce anxiety and help pass the time in waiting situations. As an appointment buddy you can simply be there to offer companionship as you sit together in the waiting room. This role may include escorting the person to the appointment by walking with them, accompanying them on a bus or using your own car to transport them. |
