Prioritise issues: this is the main task of the panel and involves analysing the feedback that Healthwatch receives from the public and determining which themes or issues are of highest priority for patients and service users in Bristol.
-
Decide how issues can be taken forward: Panel members work together to recommend what form each action might take to ensure that service users’ voices are heard and issues resolved e.g. finding out more about an issue through patient questionnaires or focus groups, feeding into health and wellbeing boards or making recommendations to services.
Volunteering with Healthwatch will give you the opportunity to:
- Play an important role improving health and social care.
