Local Healthwatch

Local Healthwatch is an organization in England that represents the voices and experiences of people using health and social care services. It aims to ensure that services meet the needs of the community by gathering feedback from individuals, conducting research, and engaging with local authorities. Healthwatch provides information about local health services, helps people navigate the system, and advocates for improvements. Each Local Healthwatch operates independently but contributes to a national network, promoting transparency and accountability in health and social care provision. This helps ensure that care is responsive and tailored to the needs of the community.
