West Clinical Hub Quiet Room

 

The South Western Ambulance Charity is delighted to have supported the opening of the West clinical hub quiet room.

​

The quiet room, a peaceful sanctuary for our hub staff, was made possible by donations made via the Pennies from Heaven scheme.

​

Amy Beet (Executive Director of People and Culture) says:

​

“The Staying Well Service is very grateful to the South Western Ambulance Charity and the staff who have contributed to the Pennies from Heaven scheme for enabling us to provide a quiet room for West Division clinical hub staff.  This room is exclusively for hub staff and provides a comfortable environment to take a few minutes after a particularly difficult call when needed.

The North Division clinical hub have reported that their quiet room has been an excellent resource for staff and so we felt that it was important that staff in the West Division hub have the same provision.”

​

The Staying Well Service enhancement initiatives would not be possible without the generosity of the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust staff who choose to donate the spare pennies from their salaries every month through the Pennies from Heaven scheme. 

 

The Trust’s funding for the Staying Well Service remains in place with charitable income used to extend the support and services available to our staff and volunteers.
