The fifth training for volunteers at BELhospice center was completed in a period from 15 to 18 September 2014. Coordinator of Volunteers Mijodrag Bogićević proudly points out the fact that this has been one of the most attended volunteer trainings, and that on this occasion people interested in volunteering were applying to attend prior to the course, even though there has not been put up any public announcement nor advertisment for recruiting of new volunteers.

The fifth volunteer training was successfully completed by sixteen future volunteers. Participants had the opportunity in four days to acquire the most basic knowledge about the history, principles and goals of palliative care, with all its medical, social, psychological and spiritual aspects of care, and also about the role and importance of volunteers in palliative care. They were also able to assist several educational films.

After this training BELhospice voluntary service will be enriched not only in number. Through these new humane people who will, through all the three pillars of volunteer service, be devoted in their free time to our patients, we will be able to improve the quality of life of our patients, see to their practical needs or allow family members to take a break from the care, contribute to the fundraising team and to the organization as a whole. This kind of education at the Center for Palliative Care and Palliative Medicine BELhospice has successfully completed 72 people.
