PEER VISITOR PROGRAM
PERFECT
MATCH
—
Retired doctors, Dr Ron Speechley
and Dr Brendan Steele, had not met
or worked together before they were
matched through the AMAV Peer
Visitor Program. They have found
they have much in common as they
have kept in contact for almost
18 months, despite the COVID-19
lock downs, to enjoy conversation
and companionship.
Brendan believes that
volunteering enhances his own
quality of life and fits well with
his personal values and approach
to his career in medicine.
