Healthwatch Wiltshire calls on public to help set priorities
Each year we decide on our key projects, based on public feedback, and we’d like your views to help us plan what we should be focusing on in the next 12 months.
We have shortlisted six potential projects for 2023/24:
- The wellbeing of children and young people
- Mental health and autism
- Hospital discharge and care at home
- Accessing GP services
- How the cost of living is affecting our health
- Pharmacy services
Tell us what you think should be a priority for Healthwatch Wiltshire by completing our short online survey or call us on 01225 434218.
Catharine Symington, Interim Manager at Healthwatch Wiltshire said:
"Our work for the year ahead will be driven by what people tell us is important to them. The health and care system is currently going through lots of changes and we want to make sure that the public plays a key role in helping to shape those changes.”
The survey is open until 5pm on Friday 17 March.
Why isn't access to dental care on the list?
While finding an NHS dentist remains one of the most common reasons people get in touch with us, we carried out extensive work on this topic in 2021, and will continue to monitor your feedback now that changes which aim to improve services have been introduced by NHS England.
