An Edinburgh man who swapped his job as a salesman to volunteer in an NHS Lothian hospital during the pandemic has made the switch permanent.
Alexis Woods, 42, was so inspired by the opportunity to improve and make a difference to the lives of patients, that he swapped his job in sales for a new career in hospital wards.
Alexis now works in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh as a clinical support worker while studying at university to become a registered nurse.
