Healthwatch Doncaster — independent health and social care champion for Doncaster
Healthwatch Doncaster — Your Independent Health & Care Champion
Healthwatch Doncaster is the independent voice for patients, service users, carers and the public across Doncaster. We listen to your experiences of NHS and social care services — from GP practices and hospitals to care homes and mental health services — and use what you tell us to drive real improvements in your local area.
We are part of a national network of 152 local Healthwatch organisations, and we work closely with Healthwatch England to make sure people’s views influence decisions made at both a local and national level. Our work is completely independent of the NHS and local authority, and every service we provide is free of charge.
Since 2013, Healthwatch Doncaster has published reports, influenced policy and helped thousands of Doncaster residents navigate health and social care. Whether you want to share your story, find a service, volunteer your time or read our latest research — we’re here for you.
