News and reports

One of our priorities for 2020/21 was to carry out a survey of our membership - and a big thanks to all that responded! In this brief report, we want to tell you about the survey results, what we've learned, and what we're going to do to improve.

Read the report from our recent survey to find out about local people's experiences of health and care during the coronavirus pandemic.

On 19 February we held an event with nearly 30 unpaid carers, as well as staff from support organisations and the Council, where we discussed the challenges of caring, and what helps. Read about the findings from these discussions in our new report.

We wanted to understand the potential benefits of social prescribing for residents, and to explore how social prescribing could work as effectively as possible for them.

This report reflects a solid year of work for the Healthwatch staff team and the support of the volunteers and members.
