We are launching our Eastbourne Listening
Tour: 15th to 30th October 2022 

For two weeks from the 15th October, Healthwatch East Sussex will be engaging with residents, community groups and professionals across Eastbourne to learn more about their experiences and views on health, care and wellbeing.  

We are focusing on ‘meeting people where they are’ and will be visiting a wide range of organisations and locations across the Borough so that we can hear as many voices as possible.  

Our goal is to learn as much as we can and use this information to identify local issues and priorities that we will share with decision-makers.  

We want to hear your story! 

We would like to invite you to join us at the event, which will include:  

• Free health checks provided by ‘One You’ East Sussex 

• An Information & Signposting Clinic to help with your health and care queries 

• An exercise bike ‘challenge’ with a £10 voucher for the winner 

• A conversation café and survey station where you can tell us about your views on health and care 

• A marketplace of local health, care and voluntary sector organisations 

Our confirmed panelists include: 

• Joe Chadwick-Bell, Chief Executive, East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust  

• Stephen Lightfoot, Chair, NHS Sussex 

• Samantha Williams, Assistant Director, Adult Social Care, East Sussex County Council  

• Steve Hare, Chief Executive, Age UK East Sussex and Vice-Chair East Sussex VCSE Alliance 

• Amy Galea, Chief Primary Care Officer, NHS Sussex
   

Our goal is to provide our invited panelists and the public with opportunities to: 

1. Hear from local people about their burning issues and ‘Hot Topics’ 

2. Respond to the big health and care questions 

3. Share organizational plans and aspirations
