Healthwatch Organizations

Healthwatch organizations are local and national groups that collect feedback from communities about healthcare and social services. They act as a voice for patients and the public, helping to improve the quality and accessibility of care. By gathering experiences, opinions, and concerns, Healthwatch informs service providers and policymakers to make healthcare more patient-centered. They also provide advice and support to individuals navigating the health system. Overall, Healthwatch ensures that community needs are considered in decision-making, promoting transparent and responsive health and social care services.
