Meet Grainne
Grainne is studying for a master's in Public Health. She volunteers for Healthwatch.
Why do you volunteer at Healthwatch?
I am starting a master's in Public Health in September and joined Healthwatch as I wanted to gain some experience of, and exposure to, different health and social care services, and their function in the community. I was inspired by Healthwatch Islington's commitment to putting local residents at the centre of their work, to ensure that everyone's views on health and care are heard and acted upon. I think this is so important.
Healthwatch has been extremely accomodating in the type of volunteering they have enabled me to do, especially as I am trying to juggle volunteering alongside a full-time job until I start my master's. I couldn't recommend them enough!
