Haringey

Two of Haringey's Covid 19 vaccination clinics are in dire need of volunteers who can assists in keeping the clinics open. If you can spare any time in the next couple of months, please do help!

The clinics run from 8am-8pm Mon to Sun and volunteers usually do a stint of 6 hours but they would be grateful for any amount of time you can spare.

The contact at the clinic is: Carmen Harrington - carmen.harrington@nhs.net If you're interested in volunteering, please contact Carmen directly with availability and contact details. Then pop details of your shift on the comments below for me, please.

From Carmen:

The volunteer bank is very much word of mouth at the month I.e. we are asking our friends and neighbours to help out so now for long term sustainability we are looking to create a bank of people we can call up with a few days notice.

We are running two Covid vaccination clinics in Haringey-

  Lordship Lane Primary Care Centre- 239 Lordship Lane, N17 6AA

  Bounds Green Group Practice, Gordon Road, N11 2PF

The clinics are running from 8am-8pm Monday-Sunday and we are looking for volunteers to do tasks including marshalling in the reception (directing people to the waiting are and the post-vaccination observation room), checking in patients at reception and assisting in the post-vaccination observation room. We would be delighted with any help people could offer, volunteers have generally been doing 4-6 hour shifts but we will be happy with any amount of time people can spare.

In terms of precautions, everyone is wearing masks at all times, patients are not allowed inside without a mask on and temperature checks are being done before people are allowed to enter the clinic. Chairs and anything that people touch are being wiped down constantly and there is good ventilation in the clinics- Bounds Green waiting area is outside in a marquee.
