Today we celebrate #WorldHMVDay! Check out hmvip.co.uk This year we recognise the vital role that carers play in supporting people who use home ventilation, to ensure they live their best lives! #HMVcareiskey #addinglifetoyears Home Mechanical Ventilation in Partnership



Today is World Home Mechanical Ventilation Day and Home Mechanical Ventilation in Partnership will be sharing a series of podcasts about the important role of carers in #AddingLifetoYears Our North East Assisted Ventilation Service supports countless people who need ventilation, improving their quality of life: bit.ly/3ScxkV1



As we celebrate #WorldHMVDay, we hear from the lovely team at Martin House Children's Hospice who share with us their amazing programme of respite care activities for HMV users under 25. #addinglifetoyears #HMVcareiskey #HMViP Full recording can be found hmvip.co.uk/world-hmv-day
