Opportunity to support the vaccination rollout programme

29/1/2021

As you will be aware from recent Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland announcements, work is already underway to rollout the important vaccine to all adults across the country. The vaccine rollout programme is a huge logistical exercise and is expected to take a number of months. In West Lothian, The Pyramids Business Park in Bathgate (old Motorola site) will be the primary site used by health officials to offer mass vaccinations to the public. The programme is expected to operate 7 days per week from mid-February through to August. The site will be open from 8am to 6.30pm each day.

VSGWL is working with officials to help the vaccination rollout programme with the coordination of volunteering support. To support the onsite health professionals and Event Management teams, volunteers are needed for meet and greet roles and in guiding people to the correct vaccination areas. Individuals will be asked to work a range of shifts at the site.

If you can offer your help, please get in touch and we will provide you with more details: vsg@vsgwl.org

I am 66 and retired, I would like to be considered to assist in the vaccine rollout on a voluntary basis.

In the past I have held the following posts.

Head of Commercial Services for The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.

Prior to moving to Scotland I was Hotel Services Manager at The Wellington Hospital and The Princess Grace Hospital, private hospitals in central London.
