#Volunteering - truly a gift that keeps on giving. My education sessions on healthy #aging #chronic pain and #fall prevention are benefiting not only my local community but those far away. Imagine if more physios were encouraged to do the same! @apaphysio @Volunteers_NSW @salvos

Claire is a valuable member of our team and it would be hard to imagine our IMH office without her.
In recognition of #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisability last week, we'd like to celebrate the contributions of Claire Coulter.
Claire has worked with us for 6+yrs. She helps maintain our office area, and brings joy and positivity to the workplace.

#NVW24 Important paper for organisations to understand the motivators, facilitators, barriers and benefits of health professionals’ #volunteering @apaphysio @Volunteers_NSW @VolunteeringAus
Ima also led a scoping review of health professionals’ involvement in volunteering their professional skills.
Health professionals reported multifaceted benefits, but also a number of barriers to #volunteering.

Our scoping review of health professionals’ #volunteering has been published- there is a need for greater allied health involvement & participation in health promotion rather than primary care.
