Introduction to Healthwatch Staffordshire
Healthwatch is the champion for people using health and social care services. We listen to people’s views about health and social care service including their experiences and encourage health and social care services to involve people in decisions that affect them.
We work for positive change in health and social care in Staffordshire as well as highlight good practice within services.
We rely on volunteers like you to help make services better. Here’s how you can get involved with Healthwatch Staffordshire.
