In this month’s podcast Mel chats to Head of Volunteering at the Trust, Clare Bancroft, and one of our amazing volunteers, David Goodwin, about the important contribution our many volunteers make in supporting our hospitals and providing that extra help and interaction with patients.
Clare describes how the national vision for volunteering changed during COVID as so many people stepped up to come forward and give their time. This is where volunteering started to change across NHS trusts and became a key contributor for improving patient experience and outcomes, and better staff experience and wellbeing.
From personal stories to behind-the-scenes insights, this episode celebrates the power of giving time, the difference it makes in our hospital community, and how you can get involved.
