What a great week! We launched our new volunteering role Active Listening, with 3 newly recruited volunteers. Alongside the PALS team, our volunteers were out on the wards listening to patients experiences of their care during their time at @uhp_nhs. plymouthhospitals.nhs.uk/vol…

Go Lou!! Have a great day!
