Sometimes things do not always go to plan when using health & social care services. This is why we have decided to put some information together about services in the area that can help with any complaints or concerns you may have with the treatment you have received. Please click here to view.

As always, if you need any further information or advice than please get in touch with us and phone us on 01472 361 459. 

Flu vaccination is available every year on the NHS to help protect adults and children at risk of flu and its complications.

Flu can be unpleasant, but if you're otherwise healthy, it'll usually clear up on its own within a week.

Here at Healthwatch, we want to hear about all experiences, whether they're good, bad or somewhere inbetween. It's no secret that compliments are just as important as complaints and highlighting what services are doing well is so important. That way, they can do more of it! Anything you have to say, no matter how small, could make a big difference. Your voice really does count. Our local NHS services need your help. Maybe a nurse gave you some reassurance when you felt anxious? Maybe a dentist made you smile? These dedicated members of staff deserve some recognition for going the extra mile. 

Please get in touch and share your experiences with us. You can do this via twitter, facebook, email, telephone, or in person!

Healthwatch is an independent consumer champion created to gather and represent the views of the public.

Healthwatch works at both the national and local level and makes sure the views of the public and people who use services are taken into account by providers. 

We gather your views and experiences about local healthcare and use them to show services what they are doing well and where they could improve.
