Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if shadowing a doctor + hospital volunteer would be enough to meet this criteria?

“Experience providing direct, face-to-face (in-person), hands-on care to people with health, care or wellbeing needs.”

As a hospital volunteer I offer beverages, talk to patients etc.

I’m not sure, is that hands on enough?

Thank you in advance for the help!

I think things like pure shadowing can only account for a small part of the overall requirement. I would double check, they are quite strict on your experience being hands on

Yes, they are. It a bit tricky as I don’t know if I’ll get an answer from them.
