We are looking for experienced therapists whom are able to deliver massage/reflexology sessions to make a difference to our patients and staff, across UCLH.

Volunteers can deliver sessions either to patients who have specifically requested a session or proactively offer their services on the wards. The service is available to patients and their carers.
