No matter how big or small the issue, we want to hear about it. Without this we couldn't truly understand how health and social care services are really working for local people
Find out more about:
Local people share their views with us on a regular basis and we ask them what they think it is most important for us to focus on. Below is more detail about our current focus.
Also find out about other opportunities to shape health and care services in Wandsworth.
This year we are championing three topics that people told us were most important to focus on.
1. Championing the voice of patients as services respond to the pandemic, building on what people told us last year and ensuring they continue to be involved in shaping services.
2. Listening to carers, people with LD and dementia about their needs and experiences, and the impact of the pandemic for them.
3. Working with minority and disadvantaged communities to identify if there are any issues they face in accessing services and new initiatives to address them.
4. Promoting communications between services and central access points to services.
Share your experiences of these or any other health and social care issues.
Around Wandsworth there are lots of other opportunities to have your say directly with health and social care services. In fact, most publically funded services have a duty to listen to what you say and involve you.
We try to encourage them to do this and to do this better. See a list of regular places to have your say below.
