We are Healthwatch, and we’re here to help make health and social care better for you.

The Government and NHS England are asking the public to share their ideas for the next big plan for the NHS.

The biggest public conversation about the future of the NHS since its birth has been launched. It calls upon the entire country to share their experiences of our health service and give their views on its future and the 10-Year-Plan for Health.

From 31 October 2023, GP surgeries must give patients online access to their new health record entries. Find out what information is in your record and how to access it.

The Accessible Information Standard gives disabled people and people with a sensory loss the legal right to get health and social care information they can understand and communications support if they need it. But, is the standard being delivered by services and does it go far enough?

The more people share their ideas, experiences and concerns about NHS and social care, the more services can understand what works, what doesn't and what people want from care in the future.

We are here to make sure that those running services, and the government, put people at the heart of care.
