Digital Comfort Tracker App Volunteer (Digital Comfort Tracker App Volunteer LEWES)

SCFT's Palliative and End of Life Care Service supports patients in their last year of life to live as comfortably as possible at home.

The service have recently launched an innovative Digital Comfort Tracker app to allow patients and carers to log symptoms from home, which are then reviewed by health care teams on a central dashboard.

The app also offers guidance on managing symptoms, links to trusted resources, and a sense of connection for patients who may otherwise feel isolated.

Volunteers are required to help out with the roll out of this app, by contacting patients to:

Explain what the app is and how it can help at home. Gain the patient's consent/their carer's consent to use the app. Obtain required patient information for healthcare professionals. There are vacancies for this role at EACH of the SCFT premises in the locations below:

Brighton & Hove, Bognor Regis, Chichester, Crawley, Crowborough, Durrington, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Heathfield, Hurstpierpoint, Lancing, Lewes, Littlehampton, Peacehaven, Pulborough, Selsey, Steyning, and Worthing.

4 hours a week on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Negotiable hours between 09.00 and 16.00.

This is a great opportunity to be involved in a ground breaking project to support SCFT patients and staff!

NB: This role is not suitable for people aged under 18 and those currently caring for a loved one in their last year of life or those who have experienced a bereavement in the last 2 years.
