This month, our key themes reflected the key areas of focus for decision makers that Healthwatch England’s Annual Report highlighted. These are:

  1. Making the NHS easier to access and navigate
  2. Tackling health inequalities
  3. Building a patient centred culture

We also highlighted insight from people who praised the calm and professionalism of NHS staff in acute situations.


“On the one hand I dread coming here, I have had the sense that they don't really care about the patients and I don't have confidence that things will happen unless you push for yourself. On the other hand when I have had actual treatment here with the nursing staff I have felt the care has been excellent.”
