Once a volunteer has worked 100 hours in a reliable and committed manner they can receive help from the Volunteer Management Team to complete their UCAS for Nursing and Midwifery Admission. They receive coaching in interview techniques. The Volunteer Scheme and the School of Health Studies work together to recruit for nurse training and in five years around 700 volunteers have been accepted on to nurse training within Aintree Hospitals.
