University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust - DERBY

Nobody wants to visit hospital if they can help it, but our volunteers make our hospitals a far better place to be.

They are the smiling faces that welcome and guide patients as they arrive at our hospitals, a friend to talk to on a ward, and an extra pair of hands to help support our busy staff. 

They are an invaluable part of our Trust and we welcome anyone who would like to join us support our hospital a better place for our patients within the following hospitals.
