Your spotlight...
...on your local services
Welcome to...
Healthwatch Leicester & Healthwatch Leicestershire
Our new website is being created, and this a taster of what's to come...
Healthwatch Leicester and Healthwatch Leicestershire is your local health and social care champion. From Belgrave to Belvoir and everywhere in between, we make sure NHS leaders and other decision makers hear your voice and use your feedback to improve care.
We will listen to your views, concerns and suggestions about services and use that information to help shape and improve them. We can provide information to help you make choices about the services you use. We hold meetings and events, gather views through surveys and carry out Enter & View visits. We share your issues of concern, your views and experiences to those who run, plan and regulate local health and social care services.
What we do
- We are an independent voice for the people of Leicester and Leicestershire
- We listen, represent your views and provide local information and signposting
- We influence health and social care locally to ensure your voice is heard
- Our aim is to get all people and communities across Leicester and Leicestershire involved in their local Healthwatch
About us
We are an independent statutory body that has been formed to make local health and social care services better for people by ensuring that their views and experiences are taken into account by those entrusted to design and run services.
Like all local Healthwatch bodies, Healthwatch Leicester and Healthwatch Leicestershire has a statutory seat on the local Health and Wellbeing Boards – the body that oversees health and social care in the city and county. We also have the statutory power to enter and view health and social care services using our trained volunteers.
We also have a statutory duty to report annually to Healthwatch England and publicly on engagement activities and how we have represented patients and social care users as well as the impact of these activities.
