What are the highlights?

Highlights from the report about things Healthwatch has helped with include:

  • Safer Hospital Discharge- we made sure new checks are in place when you leave hospital so you get the support you need at home.
  • Clearer Messaging on NHS Data - the NHS made it more clear how it uses the information in your health records.
  • Carers given priority COVID-19 vaccinations - we made sure sure carers were prioritised for vaccines so they could care for their loved ones as safely as possible. 
  • Improving transport services for everyone-  thanks to sharing your views with us, together we’ve helped improve non-emergency patient transport services. Find out more from Healthwatch England website
