How can a volunteer support your service?

Nazia Akhtar volunteers in critical care and theatres at Sandwell Hospital. We caught up with Nazia to talk about how her role as a theatre and critical care liaison volunteer acts as a bridge between ward and theatre colleagues and the friends and families of patients.
