Healthwatch England

Healthwatch England is an independent organization that represents the interests of patients and the public in the health and social care system in England. Established by the government in 2013, its main role is to gather feedback on services, advocate for improvements, and ensure that voices of users are heard by decision-makers. It operates through local Healthwatch groups, which collect experiences from individuals about NHS services and social care, helping to drive positive change and inform policy. By doing so, Healthwatch England aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of care for everyone.
