Healthwatch Wandsworth 2017/18 Annual Report

Each year we publish an annual report so that you know what your local health and care champion have been doing and what we are planning for the next year. Hear about our fifth year in our annual report.

Over 1000 people spoke to us about their experiences of health and social care services in Wandsworth this year. Our fifth Annual Report sets out what people think of healthcare services and how we have helped services find out what works for you, what doesn't and what you want from care in the future.

As well as speaking to those of you who contacted us to share your stories, we also visited different local services to find out if they're meeting people's needs. Our Annual report highlights some of this work, and what has happened so far as a result of us telling those in charge of local services about the improvements people would like to see.

Key headlines

  • We visited 3 senior health wards to speak to patients and hear what it is like to be a patient on these wards.
  • We spoke to over 1028 patients, service users and carers at 73 community events.

  • We've spoken to people about issues ranging from eye health to mental health.

We'd like to thank those of you that got in touch with us last year to tell us about your personal experiences of local health and social care services. We really do listen to what you tell us - please continue to share your stories with us - sharing your views could make a big difference.
