Coronavirus: Share your experiences in North Yorkshire

News - 17 April 2020

Healthwatch North Yorkshire is here to help during these challenging times – and whether you need information about using local health or care services or have an experience to share that could help NHS and social care services improve care.

Our job at Healthwatch is simple – we’re here to help make health and social care work better for you.

During this challenging time this role has never been more important. Whether you are struggling to find the right health and care information or your care has been affected by the response to COVID-19, we want to hear from you.

NHS and social care services have had to change the way they are working in response to COVID-19. So, if you are facing a difficult health or care decision or just don’t know how to find out about what support options are available, we are here. If we can’t help you, we try and point you in the direction of the right services who can.

NHS and social care staff are doing everything they can to keep us well, but there might be things that can be improved. If you’ve recently used a health service and want to share your experience, we’re here to listen.

When we need care the NHS is there for us. You can be there for the NHS by telling us about your experiences of services so everyone can continue receiving high-quality and safe support.

A lot of the language used when talking about the NHS, and health and care services, can be difficult to understand. Too many acronyms and not enough plain English can leave all of us feeling very confused.
