Healthwatch Northumberland News and Annual Survey
Healthwatch Northumberland would like to know how you rate the NHS and social care services you and your family have used. Your answers help us to see how satisfied people living in Northumberland are with their experiences of care over the last 12 months, and if people are more, or less happy with services compared to previous years.

Healthwatch would also like your thoughts on where to focus work in the coming year. GP services, dentists and mental health services aren’t included on the list as these will stay a priority for at least the coming 12 months.

The services to choose from are:

·          Audiology

·          Support coming out of hospital (hospital discharge services)

·          Pharmacies/Pharmacy First scheme

·          Care in the home

·          Physiotherapy

·          Issues affecting carers

·          Hospital services

Please share your thoughts online, get in touch for a postal copy with freepost return, or call 03332 408468 to leave views over the phone. Closing date is 6 May 2024.

Thank you for telling us your thoughts. Together we can make a difference to local health and care services.
