Bristol Annual Report 2018/2019

Report - 24 October 2019

During 2018/2019 our work included a year-long study of emotional health and wellbeing in the city of Bristol and we worked with 300 medical students looking at the 3Ds - disability, disadvantage and discrimination.

Key Points

  • We raised concerns about a lack of gluten free prescriptions for coeliacs with the Clinical Commissioning Group.
  • People with mobility issues were asking for help with prescription delivery and being refused access until Healthwatch intervened.
  • We learned that BAME women in Bristol are not attending their mammograms and breast screening as often as their Caucasian sisters and hosted an event to find out why.
