So well deserved! Dani & Zoe you are incredible and I was so privileged to work closely with you on the training we provide our staff in the care of patients with a tracheostomy or laryngectomy. You are inspirational and make such a difference to the lives of these patients!

Another way our precious @UHSVolunteers give back. In incredibly challenging time, every little helps and this is a lot!
Amongst other delivery jobs this morning, responder volunteer John returned with an impressive haul of donated equipment, equivalent to almost £250! Thank you to those who have donated used equipment to us over the years, which we are able to clean and reissue to our patients🥰❤
