Annual reports launched at public voice event
Held at Jakeman’s Community Stadium in Boston, YourVoice@Healthwatch also hosted discussions with more than 50 people about how health and social care services can better engage with the people they serve.
The lively round-table discussions covered hospital admissions and discharge, access to GPs, specialist rehabilitation services, carers, social care and much more.
The points raised on the day were collated by the Healthwatch Lincolnshire team and will help to place Healthwatch Lincolnshire as a system leader that can help to guide other services to improve public engagement.
The Healthwatch Lincolnshire annual report was presented by Healthwatch Lincolnshire Contract Manager Dean Odell. A video overview can be watched below.
HWLincs CEO Navaz Sutton presented the HWLincs annual report. HWLincs is the charity that delivers Healthwatch Lincolnshire and the annual report will be available to download and read in early November.
Alongside the presentations and discussions, there was also the opportunity for professionals and the public to network with HWLincs and Healthwatch Lincolnshire team members, as well as other charities and organisations with stalls in the marketplace. Sharing information on their services this time were:
Michele Duggan, chair of HWLincs, said: “It was great to see so many people passionate about voicing their views on health and social care in Lincolnshire. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support, encouragement and contributions.”
Elizabeth Ball, chair of the Healthwatch Lincolnshire Steering Group, added: “A really well organised event, with some very helpful insights. Well done!”
