PAVE (Patient, Advice, Volunteer, Education)

What is PAVE?

PAVE is a volunteer led service available to staff, patients, carers and families. It provides support and information to those that require it. Led by the NHSFV Disability Service, PAVE is a centrally co-ordinated service that supports the delivery of clearer pathways and sign-posting for staff and for those accessing health services.

PAVE is delivered within the new acute hospital and is proactive and responsive to individual patient needs. The service will be funded by the Scottish Government.
