Emma added: "My time on Laverstock Ward has taught me a great deal, particularly about the importance of the NHS as an organisation with teams of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, health visitors, porters, chaplains - all working together to ensure the best possible care for their patients. This has helped in my decision to pursue Medicine at University, and the skills I have gained over the last year will be invaluable to me in the future."
Luke March, Chairman of Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust said: "It’s particularly pleasing to see that Emma’s dedication and commitment will continue to benefit patients as she looks towards a career in the health service. It’s always nice to recognise the achievements of our young volunteers and, in doing so, I want to thank Emma for all the time she has given us on behalf of our patients and wish her well when she pursues her medical career in the future."
