Inpatient Visiting
The Independent Visitors Scheme (IVS) exists to support people with mental health problems who are in hospital. The role of an Independent Visitor is to act as a confidential and independent listening ear and to support patients in having a collective say about their care, treatment and quality of life during their stay in hospital. We are not there to problem solve but to give people time, support, help raise issues, signpost and because you may well have been there yourself – give cause for hope.
If you are interested in becoming an Independent Visitor, please give us a call or download the application form here: IVS Application Form (62 KB Download)
