Staff are busy with the clinical side of things, so the dining panions were introduced. They will assist the patients and encourage them to eat.

Another key role is played by the discharge volunteers, who offer support to the elderly, especially those aged 70 and overleaving hospital to return to an empty home. The team has a budget of ￡10 per person and will pop to the shops and buy milk, bread and a meal to tide them over for the first few hours. They then call the patients regularly, for as long as they need, to check how they are getting on and if they need extra support. The volunteers in Kingston work from a dedicated officea small room in one of the buildings on the hospital grounds, where a Christmas tree decorated with baubles (小飾物) bearing the faces of volunteers sits in the corner.
