Healthwatch Thurrock Annual Report 2017-18
Summary
This year, Healthwatch Thurrock played a crucial role in a large change initiative; Sustainability and Transformation Partnership Plan (STP).
This will see a very different way at organising Health services across Thurrock and will impact on all residents. As such, the need to understand the community voice is vital in shaping and consulting on the proposed changes. Full details of what was gathered and our methodology are shared later in this year’s report.
Our small team at Thurrock have worked tirelessly this year in reaching wide to raise awareness about the STP along with other targeted projects.
Within the report you will see examples of the Healthwatch Thurrock activities and the groups that we work with including increasing the membership of Patients Participation Groups and sourcing ambassadors for Healthwatch.
