In our latest film below, we visit our newest colleagues working in prisons in the south west, as they talk about the work they love, the beautiful local scenery, the challenges, satisfaction and rewards their roles bring them.
Presented by Aisling Thompson, Service Director of Offender Healthcare services, our film gives seldom seen insight into this specialist area of healthcare:
