As part of a national scheme, every local council in England have their own Healthwatch. Through focus groups, forums, online surveys and feedback centre, Healthwatch Herefordshire listens to local people and then speaks up on their behalf in order to influence the delivery and design of health and social care services in the county.
Their current projects are adult mental health, men’s health, falls prevention and social isolation and reasonable adjustments. Surveys for these can be found on the website https://healthwatchherefordshire.co.uk/ along with a whole host of other information. They are aware that many people aren’t online so if you’d like a hard copy version posted out to you, call them on 01432 277044.
Healthwatch Herefordshire know that the coronavirus pandemic is a difficult time and it is important that you seek help if you are struggling. They have created a list of free national helpline numbers along with some local ones in case you need them.
