In Home Visits, no two days are the same, and sometimes the care goes beyond the clinical.

Recently, Lynne completed her Mental Health First Aid training, giving her the confidence to spot when colleagues or customers might need extra support and know how to respond.

It’s made a real difference to how she carries out appointments and how she shows up for people every day.
