Healthwatch Essex is operating as usual—despite recent government announcements, we’re here to listen and support you, so please do get in touch via this website. Find out more here.

We are an independent charity set up under the Health & Social Care Act 2012 (updated in 2022) and we use your voice to improve health and care in Essex. We undertake high-quality research and engagement to uncover your experience of services and use it to shape health and care. 

We can help you find out about and access health and social care services through our Information & Guidance Service. Call 0300 500 1895 or text 07712395398. Check out how to get involved!
