Healthwatch is the independent champion for people who use health and social care services. They exist to ensure that people are at the heart of care, listening to what people like about services or what could be improved and they share their views with those with the power to make change happen. They also help people find the information they need about services in their area.

You can find out more information about your local Healthwatch through their website:
