Who Knows: Healthwatch Annual Review 2017-18
21/05/2018
Did you take part on our annual review? If you did, then a big thanks.
Our key findings were:
- 79% of the respondents said they had not been aware of Healthwatch prior to taking the survey.
- Majority (76%) of the respondents indicated they use Facebook whilst 39% said they use Instagram. These figures will assist Healthwatch to share information through the relevant social media channels.
- The findings from the survey show that there is little awareness amongst the public about the role of Healthwatch. There is a need to have a clear precise message about the role Healthwatch has, the impact we have and the services we offer.
- People told us we should look into access to GPs as part of next year’s work plan. Mental Health was also an area which was highlighted.
