WHAT DOES SALV DO?

SALV provides equipment and other support to help our local doctors and other medical staff carry out their work in the most effective way.

Nobody wants to go to hospital.. ...

SAL V can often make it possible for you and your family to avoid the stress and time delay of hospital visits by providing equipment so that you can be treated in the familiar environment of your own surgery.

SAL V gives us all the opportunity to say thank-you for the excellent local services that we receive.

WHY DO WE NEED SALV?

As you know, the NHS is under-funded and cannot provide all the facilities we need. However, a little help from SAL V makes a considerable difference for us all.

You and your family may have already benefited from the equipment and resources supplied by SAL V. Even if you have not, it is a comfort to know that these excellent facilities are available - just in case!

A list of some of the help provided is shown overleaf.
