Share your feedback to improve care in our community
Last year, Healthwatch received nearly 400,000 experiences of health and social care nationally. 3,094 people told us their views in North Yorkshire.
We also had 49,044 visits to our website for advice and information about topics such as NHS dentistry, accessing GP websites, mental health experiences of young people, why people are struggling to access healthcare in our rural areas, and the efforts to improve accessible information available in our NHS.
When services are under pressure, feedback on care can be crucial to identify what is working and what issues need fixing.
But not everyone's voice is being heard.
'Share for Better Care' aims to help more people give feedback about their care, especially if their community experiences poor health outcomes.
Your experience matters to us
The simple act of sharing feedback is already helping to improve care for the people who use it.
We want people to know that their feedback, no matter how small, has the power to transform health and social care across the country.
Together we can improve health and care, but we can only make a difference if we know about your experience.
Have your say
Please share your experience and help us make NHS decision-makers aware of what needs to change to improve access to care, for everyone.
We’re completely independent and impartial, and anything you say is confidential.
You can also provide feedback on care in other ways:

About our campaign
‘Share for Better Care’ is a joint campaign run by Healthwatch and the Care Quality Commission (known as the CQC). The campaign aims to encourage more people, particularly people from ethnic-minority communities and people living on lower incomes, to feed back about their care. The insight they provided will help us to identify national and local health inequalities and to improve the quality of care provided to everyone.
