Healthwatch is the local voice for the people of Hampshire when it comes to NHS and social care.  We do three main things:

• We capture the views of local people on their experiences of using local services and use this to push NHS organisations, the Council and other publicly funded health and social care organisations to make improvements – or to celebrate where things are working well.
• We provide information and advice about local services to help people get the support they need.
• We challenge NHS and social care providers to make things better.

In Hampshire the local Healthwatch is hosted by The Advocacy People who would be your employer. The Advocacy People and Healthwatch share core values which are all about people’s voices: empowering people to speak up; amplifying service user voices; enabling people to participate in, and influence, decision-making about health and social care; and provide information which helps people make informed decisions.
