Read some of the ways we've worked together with residents, local communities and organisations to help deliver change in Reading over the last year, in our annual report.
Over 1600 people provided us with information, shared feedback, accessed support, information and advice from us, via phone, email, website forms, focus groups and engagement events.
"It is through working together and listening to Reading locals and communities that we can help shape a health and social care system that works for everyone." Luke Howarth, Healthwatch Reading Advisory Group Chair.
Here are a few of our highlights from this year
Healthwatch Reading Youth was launched to capture the voice of young people, and their health and social care concerns.
Shedding light on the experiences of asylum seekers in Reading resulted in the creation of a collaborative forum made up of community members and organisations, to help support and address their challenges.
We highlighted the urgent need for improved interpreter services for residents in healthcare and social care services/settings.
A joint Healthwatch GP Access project to investigate and increase residents' awareness of the way GP surgeries are now working was completed.
We completed our health inequalities oral health project (Core20Plus5 Community Connectors Programme) on children under 10 years old living in the 3 most deprived wards of Reading.
