Top tips from the Helping in Hospitals programme

Earlier this week, we published our final outputs from the Helping in Hospitals programme and we have been thrilled with the feedback so far. It's exciting to know that by working through the step-by-step guide, other hospitals can design and delivery impact volunteering roles that have the potential to create the impact we've seen in through the programme.

So where did we get the nearly 100 pages of content for the guide? The guide was brought to life by the experiences of the hospital project teams themselves. Here we share a video of them with some of their top tips, which were used to create the guide's framework.
