How we help you
Healthwatch Tameside is your local health and social care champion. If you use GPs and hospitals, dentists, pharmacies, care homes or other support services, we want to hear about your experiences. As an independent statutory body, we have the power to make sure NHS leaders and other decision makers listen to your feedback and improve standards of care. Last year we helped many people like you to have your say and get the information and advice you need.
The power of your feedback
We use your feedback to better understand the challenges facing NHS and other care providers locally, to make sure your experiences improve health and care services for everyone. We can also help you to get the information and advice and you need to make the right decisions for you and to get the support you deserve. It’s really important that you share your experiences – whether good or bad, happy or sad. If you’ve had a negative experience, it’s easy to think there’s no point in complaining, and that ‘nothing ever changes’. Or, if you’ve had a great experience, that you ‘wish you could say thank you’. Remember, your feedback is helping to improve people’s lives. So if you need advice, or you’re ready to tell your story – we’re hear to listen.
Our approach
People's views come first - especially those who find it hardest to be heard.
We champion what matters to you and work with others to find ideas that work. We are committed to making the biggest difference to you.
We use the feedback we receive about health and care services in an anonymous way. We talk to the providers and commissioners of those services to let them know what is working well, and where people think improvements could be made.
Have your say
Tell us your experience of health and social care services and help make care better.
