URA Volunteers- Additional Information

1. It is important to ensure you check Teams daily as urgent requests regarding participants may emerge 
2. When communicating about patient materials put all questions in the patient's Teams chat NOT in individual messages to clinicians.
3. Ensure that if you are ever using patient videos or audio files you delete them from the computer and the trash folder when you have finished each shift 
4. If you need to change your schedule, send a message in your supervisor chat on Teams and after confirming it, change the calendar 
   1. If you need to cancel a shift, provide as much notice as possible and suggest an alternate time to make up those hours and change this on the calendar
   2. Note your supervisor may not be able to reply the same day/morning/evening that you message them and it is your responsibility to communicate with them ahead of time
5. We are in this environment to learn from one another, by agreeing to be a part of this lab, you also agree to treat your peers and supervisors with mutual respect
