Bo'ness Car 4U is a free volunteer patient transport service for anyone registered with a Bo'ness Medical Practice who has been diagnosed with cancer. Volunteer drivers convey these patients from their home to their place of treatment and back again, and co-ordinators are behind the scenes making it all possible. Our efforts have been highly commended by patients who benefit hugely from this free service.
Our Volunteer Coordinators make all of this possible. They act as the first point of contact for the Medical Practice who refer the patient to us, and then allocate drivers for our free cancer patient transfer service. The time commitment is across 10 days a month on a rota basis, working from home in your own time, and we provide a laptop and mobile phone for the role.
