Hoveton & Wroxham Community Transport

 

Have you ever wondered what will happen when you get less mobile and need to go to medical appointments. It is a strange thing that by the time you may get to an older age you develop more problems that will hinder you in driving while at the same time, be more important to attend them.

​

That is where we step in. Working with the Hoveton & Wroxham Medical Practice, we are a group of volunteer drivers who will be able to take you to your medical appointments, whether they are at the hospital, surgery, dentist or clinic. We pick you up at home, take you there and will wait to take you home again afterwards. There are set amounts charged based upon the distance and this is paid to the drivers on your return home.

​

The hassle of driving is on our shoulders so you don’t have to concern yourselves. If you are attending a hospital appointment, you are not going to be at your best if you are also having to think about the drive too!

​

When I started to volunteer it was about doing something useful with my time and resources (my car). I enjoyed driving and without a job to go to, the car was just taking up room on the driveway.

​

As a driver, I am very interested in the people I drive and hear their stories mostly about their lives in Norfolk – being an ‘incomer’, I am fascinated by the stories of past Norfolk or indeed wherever our passengers are from.

​

Jobs are allocated through the main office, who keep us all on track with the various jobs we are doing, news on roadworks and distributing our wheelchairs where they are required. To be fair, the driving is the easy part!

​

Finally, it is worth bearing in mind that missed medical appointments in the UK significantly impact the NHS, both financially and in terms of patient care. On average, each missed GP appointment costs the NHS around £30-£40, and each missed hospital appointment can cost an estimated £165, nationally, millions of appointments are missed annually, resulting in hundreds of millions of pounds wasted. 

So, if you have a car and some time to spare, call the office and speak to Terry & Liz to see whether this can be something you too, can do! It’s a benefit to you, the community and the NHS.

​

For more information contact Liz and Terry on 01603 784455 or email lizandterry@btinternet.com

​

It is also fun!
