Help us 'Enter and View'
Become an authorised Enter and View Representative
As a local Healthwatch, we have special legal powers to 'Enter and View' local health and social care services.
This means we can enter and view all publicly funded health and social care services premises and speak to those using the services about their experience and how the service is working to speak to people about their experiences.
As an Authorised Enter and View Volunteer, you can help us conduct these visits and spend time talking to patients, carers and relatives as well as helping us report back on our findings.
Other opportunities:
Become a Community Health Ambassador
Join the Community Health Ambassadors Network to help inform, empower and support your community during the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide Ambassadors with accurate information about COVID-19 and related issues and encourage Ambassadors to provide feedback about barriers and challenges their community is facing.
