Volunteer Speaker

For Medical Detection Dogs

Register your Interest

Medical Detection Dogs needs volunteer speakers to help raise awareness of the charity and raise valuable funds. Speakers deliver talks about the charity to local groups such as WI's, Rotary clubs and other community groups.

Register your interest solo, or as a pair (if you have someone interested in doing this with you!) and deliver a ready-made presentation to interested groups. Training and support provided.

Any time you can give makes a big difference – whether it is a few talks a year or thirty.

Skills

If you feel confident to speak in front of a group of people or have experience in doing so, this could be the role for you.

Basic IT skills are beneficial for email communication, filling in a form post-talk and setting up the projector (training provided).

About Medical Detection Dogs

Medical Detection Dogs trains dogs to detect the odour of human disease with the aim of developing faster, more efficient and less invasive diagnostics that lead to better patient outcomes. We are at the forefront of the research into the fight against cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our Medical Alert Assistance Dogs support individuals with complex health conditions who have limited awareness of an impending life-threatening medical event.
