NHS Scotland Volunteer Impact Series: Insights from the Frontline - NHS Staff Perspectives

June 2024

Executive Summary

"In early 2024, volunteer managers from NHS Ayrshire & Arran, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Lothian and NHS Tayside worked together to create a set of national questions. The aim was to gather data on the experiences of NHS staff who work alongside volunteers in their wards and departments. This work was supported by the NHS Scotland Volunteering Programme Team, who have analysed the entire data set."

Conclusions

"The findings support volunteers as valuable partners in delivering quality care and outcomes for patients and visitors in healthcare and that the time required to support volunteers is minimal in comparison to their impact."
