Paul's View

'I am frequently humbled by how pleased to be called many people are. Most were doing well, pleased to be home, but some were struggling and needed help accessing additional support. Whilst we play an important role in linking individuals to the right organisation to get the help they need, the calls also help maintain their faith and trust in the health service and shows that someone does still care about them once they have been discharged from hospital'
