Key projects
At Healthwatch Manchester we work to an annual plan which has a list of priority areas of work. The annual plan is developed each year at a 'whole organisation' meeting. Within the plan there is always some stretch time to allow for hot topics or wicked issues which may require us to be more responsive and work on them straight away. Below are brief descriptions of our current areas of work.
Find out what we're working on
Everything we do is guided by what people tell us about their experiences of health and social care. Find out more about how we're using these views to improve care.
Do you have an experience that you would like to share?
Discharge into Care & Social Care Assessments
We have produced two reports looking into the experiences of people who have been discharged into care from hospital and people who have had a recent care assessment. The work highlights the great work being done by Manchester's social workers and provides a picture of the situation during COVID-19.
Environmental Impact on Health
Manchester (and Greater Manchester) has amongst the worst air quality in the country and we want to find out your views, opinions and experiences of its impact on your and your loved ones' health and wellbeing. Are services able to meet the demand for its effect on children, older people and pregnant women? Should we introduce a congestion charge as London has? Let us know your thoughts.
GP website reviews
Accessibility of GP websites
Many people have raised complaints and given other feedback to us regarding the accessibility of their local GP website. We want to hear your views and your stories.
