A Volunteer’s Perspective

ISPA A Volunteer Perspective cover

This "A Volunteer’s Perspective" blog was inspired by a call from a CPR initiative, highlighting the importance of volunteering based on lived experiences, so that the ‘voice of the people’ can help reduce pressure on health and social care services.

Read on to learn more about how volunteering, especially sharing lived experiences, can ease pressure on NHS and social care services. The blog highlights challenges volunteers face, the missed opportunities when their input is ignored, and how universities can lead collaborative solutions to improve service quality, efficiency, and citizen engagement.
