Volunteering in health and care : securing a sustainable future is the title of a report from the King's Fund in the UK. The authors (Chris Naylor et al) look at the important part that volunteers play in improving patient experience, addressing health inequalities, and building a closer relationship between services and communities. They also outline the changing nature of volunteering and the problems and barriers that can arise. Recommendations include a more strategic approach to the use of volunteers, and the recognition that they should provide added quality rather than a short-term solution to funding issues.
