We were privileged to have Dr Amit Patel, Diversity & Accessibility Consultant, joined our live webinar on 27th March. During the webinar, Dr Patel covered the following key issues:

  • Why the NHS should have more disabled volunteers
  • How this group of volunteers can make a difference to patients
  • What VSMs should know when they interact with disabled volunteers
  • How to find funding support when VSMs would like to have volunteers with disabilities in their teams
  • How to recruit volunteers with disabilities
  • Tips to check whether guide dogs are suitable to be working on wards
  • What to do if volunteers have guide dogs but would like to work on clinical wards
  • Benefits of Pet Therapy
