It removes the stress of navigating vast hospital sites and the worry of long waits and disrupted days. Instead, patients step into a calm, welcoming environment where they're seen promptly. Many patients also value the sense of camaraderie with other patients from their area, creating a supportive, friendly atmosphere.</p><p> </p><p>The charity's fleet of mobile units currently operates in regions including Gloucestershire, South Wiltshire, Kent, Suffolk, Essex, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Norfolk.
