The WRVS on-ward volunteer initiative was launched within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals (STH) in November 2011.  The purpose of the initiative was to improve the inpatient experience of patients with dementia by using on-ward volunteers recruited and trained by WRVS, supported by a Dementia Nurse Specialist (DNS) employed by STH. It was anticipated that around 20 volunteers would be recruited.
