The setting up process was very quick and easy, and the Health and Care Videos team couldn’t have been more supportive. I would thoroughly recommend anyone interested in adding a video library to their website to snap up this free opportunity – it’s made a real difference for us.”
Simon Culley, Healthwatch Torbay
“ I would encourage you to engage with the good folk running the video library –now across Devon. It’s a very useful tool for us to signpost our carers to if they need practical support and information in their caring role.“
Pennie Evans, Carers Aid Torbay
“The video library is a great resource for our service users. It puts a lot of the information they need in one place in a way that’s easy to understand. We definitely recommend it to other care providers.”
Chris Sumner, Visual Eyes Torbay
“There’s no doubt about it, I would highly recommend that other organisations across the county look at taking this on board, it is a gift and there is a tremendous opportunity for you to think outside your service parameters”
Kerry Macnish, Head of Education at Rowcroft Hospice
“I would certainly recommend the video library to other care organisations and other carers and I think this is an opportunity where you can easily provide information and advice throughout the whole community”
Dr Kevin Dixon, Chair of Healthwatch Torbay
“I would definitely recommend other organisations jump on board with the video library. It’s just so extensive, there’s something there for everybody and it’s totally free so you’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain!”
