Abstract

The article is based on the experiences stemming from the development and process of volunteer work in hospitals and health centres in Great Britain, Canada, America and Australia, where active volunteer work is being practiced for a long period of time. Experiences date back to the period before programs of palliative have been introduced in hospitals. The article stresses the importance of volunteer work in the frames of palliative care in basic and hospital health care work. As well, precious experiences from the work of the Slovenian association Hospic are mentioned as well. The article presents the results of an opinion study on volunteer work carried out among patients and staff at the Institute of Oncology in January 2006.
