Long term patients in hospital can be referred on to the service and trained volunteers visit them daily during the week. Bereavement follow-up is built in to the program and is a form of `preventative medicine'. Some home visiting is available for patients and families. The Program has broader horizons, and features a "24hour emergency on-call ser- vice" for family support in sudden -death or life-threatening situations, which may not necessarily result in death. Sometimes supportive care is needed on a short-term basis, such as, at the time of diagnosis, or following surgery. People may move on and off the service as their condi- tion improves or changes. Being on the Ser- vice does not mean death is imminent and there is no hope. Early referral reduces anxiety and helps one to better cope with the disease process. The Service encompasses other types of losses and support, and to further clarify this part of the service it was decided to change the name to `Supportive and Palliative Care Service'. Referrals to the service come from family physicians, and the need can be brought to their attention by health care personnel, or by the family. There is no charge for the ser- vice. Since the service was implemented in March, 1982 approximately 95 families have been served and a total of over 6,000 volunteer hours have been given both by volunteers and professionals. This figure in- cludes not only direct service to patients at home or in the hospital, but also involves time devoted to co-ordination, training education and meetings. The success of this support service is achieved by recruiting and training volunteers who are caring and compas- sionate. Their role is not to replace the nurse or family, but to supplement the existing quality of care ' to give these patients the special support that they require. After a screening interview, the suc- cessful volunteer will attend eight workshops, chaired -by the volunteer con- venor, Mrs. Connie.tOsbarn, who will be ' assisted by medical afid other personnel. A r. new training program is planned for the beginning of November. Anyone from the immediate vicinity, to whom this rewarding type of 'Work might ap- peal, kindly contact the Co-ordinator, Con- nie Osborn at 524-7184. SENIO:!
