Healtwatch Newham Annual Report 2022/2023

We have continued to raise questions about the health inequalities that Newham residents face and have been closely involved in working with decision-makers, commissioners and providers to improve health and care outcomes for all, including the Newham Health and Care Partnership and Newham Council.

We have endeavoured to act on resident and patient feedback with our work on maternity services and hospital discharge.  Our ‘lunch and learn’ seminars have enabled us to inform residents about difficult and inaccessible topics.

We have been delighted to launch our Young Healthwatch programme, our Community Listening Ears engagement tool. We are working with residents and community organisations to agree on increasing community understanding of safeguarding. 

Our Annual Report summarises the highlights of our work.
