- Coaching the NHS – Will you volunteer until May 2021? We are proud to say that since May 2020 Meyler Campbell coaches have completed over 200 coaching assignments with Coachees working within the NHS. It is no surprise that as a result of the impact this scheme is having we have been asked to extend it until May 2021. Last week, we wrote to Meyler Campbell Alumni to ask if you would like to continue to volunteer beyond the end of the year or if you would like to volunteer for the first time if you have not previously done so. In case you missed that message and you would like to volunteer, please fill in this survey as soon as possible: MEYLER CAMPBELL NHS VOLUNTEERS SURVEY Please note: the minimum requirement for volunteering is that you must have graduated and completed a minimum of 40 hours of logged and supervised coaching. If you meet this requirement and think you can help, please fill in the survey here. See last week’s email here for full information
