Guided by you: Read our 2019-2020 Annual Report

During 2019-20 we undertook some exciting projects and continued to ensure that the views and needs of the people of Northamptonshire are considered, particularly as services and organisations are restructured.

This year our annual report highlights some exciting projects undertaken during 2019-20. Our public workshop and survey in May 2019, in partnership with the Northamptonshire Health and Care Partnership (NHCP), was a great success and people’s views are being used to inform how the priorities in the NHS Long Term Plan are being implemented in Northamptonshire, as well as being part of the 40,000 responses to Healthwatch England’s national survey.

“We assure the Northamptonshire public that we will listen and make sure that your concerns are heard”
- David N Jones, Healthwatch Northamptonshire Chair

Young Healthwatch Northamptonshire Annual Report 2019-2020

Young Healthwatch Northamptonshire has had a busy year too!

We have seen some of our fantastic volunteers head off to university to study medicine and have welcomed some new volunteers. Our volunteers now range from 11-19 years old. We have forged great partnerships with local services such as Northamptonshire’s Young Carers Service to make sure that young carers are included in the conversations around health and social care locally and nationally, and have built on our valued relationships with local service providers across Northamptonshire, including both Northampton General Hospital and Kettering General Hospital. We have also continued to upskill our volunteers and offer them new experiences, but most importantly we have continued to make a difference to health and social care for young people in Northamptonshire while having fun and making friends.
