Healthwatch East Sussex Annual Event 2022

On the 14^th July 2022, Healthwatch East Sussex hosted our 2022 Annual Event at Uckfield Civic Centre.

As our first ‘in person’ annual event since 2019 it was great to see approximately 50 people in attendance, made up of members of the public and our colleagues from statutory and voluntary organisations.

Many thanks to all those who attended, and we hope that you found the event useful and enjoyed it as much as we did. It was great to be able to share our achievements in 2021-22 and plans for 2022-23, as well as to receive feedback and engage in lively discussions about the future of health and care in East Sussex.

If you were not able to attend on the day, you can view the event programme and view copies of the presentations from our speakers here.
