Advisory board member
Can you help improve health and social care services in Tameside? Do you want to guide the work of Healthwatch?
As a board member you will play a role in setting the strategic direction of Healthwatch Tameside, ensuring that the Healthwatch Tameside vision, aims, and values are upheld.
You could play a crucial role in making sure the way that Healthwatch Tameside is governed. Good governance leads to good delivery. We need your skills, abilities, knowledge and experiences to be the best we can be.
Many thanks to all our volunteers. Without their support the Healthwatch Tameside team would have less opportunity to hear from the residents of Tameside.
