Everyone is an expert on their own life.
“After my stroke if felt like I had nothing left to contribute. Being part of a research team has given me a new lease on life”
It’s a two way street. One hand washes the other. You scratch… oh I’m bored now.
With your expertise, patient outcomes improve. And being part of an effective team is a real boost to your confidence and self esteem.
Why should I volunteer?
If you’re super-busy, or exhausted or anxious about taking part, don’t worry. It’s not for everyone, and not everyone is in the right headspace just now. But, if you’ve got some time on your hands, opinions about health care, recovery or therapy it’s important, rewarding work. And if you’ve got real life experience of the subject you’re an automatic expert!
