roduce our own evidence-based reports on services, which include recommendations based on the feedback we receive. We use these reports to influence,      inform and, if necessary, challenge decisions of health and social care organisations.

 

Our work has helped improve the patient experience of health and social care services from GP practices and hospital services to care homes. We also have a signposting service where we provide information and advice about local health and social care services such as how to find a care home or get a dentist through the NHS.

 

As we are very keen to reach out and talk to all sections of the community, we spend a lot of our time attending local events to listen to people’s views. However, there are plenty of other ways that you can tell us your views or experiences of local health and social care services such as by phone on 0845 260 6216 or by email on                           info@healthwatchbucks.co.uk. If you prefer, why not go onto our website www.healthwatchbucks.co.uk  where you can rate and review over 500 GPs, dentists, pharmacists, care homes and hospitals? While you are there, do subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook or Twitter. Alternatively, why don’t you come along to the launch of our Annual Report on Wednesday 25 July, 5.30-7.30 at Wycombe Wanderers Stadium, where you can hear how we have helped improve services and talk to us directly! We’d love to see you!
