Meet Shazia... SOS Volunteer
I am inspired by the services the SOS provides and the impact on the community and wider NHS, who already are suffering from staff shortages. This service is a huge chance to give back to the community and to develop my skills and knowledge. Based on my life and work experience I believe I can effectively contribute to this service. Currently, I work in the community as a Childcare Professional. I continuously engage and interact with children, parents as well as other specialised agencies. I am dedicated and committed to helping and supporting the diverse community and have an overall awareness of issues. Presently, I am a qualified First Aider, and the SOS will provide opportunities for me to undertake and assist with medical emergencies as well as enhance my skills and abilities. My personal experience of losing my dad through Covid and my daughter who was diagnosed with leukaemia at the prime age of 7 and ongoing treatment has increased my resilience; patience as well as ways of managing trauma. As a volunteer I feel I will ease the burden on the already stretched NHS ambulance service and by recognising symptoms; giving reassurance and delivering first aid will give me great satisfaction and purpose.
