• James Paget University Hospitals- John, Butterfly Volunteer Coordinator for this project, continued to support just over 100 (non-Covid) end of life patients during the last year. 15 new Butterfly Volunteers were recruited just before the pandemic and are soon commencing their training. Existing Butterfly Volunteers are about to resume bedside visiting after their refresher training.
• East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust- Pam and Emi, Butterfly Volunteer Coordinators at Ipswich and Colchester Hospitals, are preparing their existing volunteers to return to bedside visiting as well as recruiting and training a new intake of Butterfly Volunteers.
