Healthwatch Essex collects data and lived experience from the public of Essex relating to health and social care services and uses that information to inform the way services are designed and delivered. It is important to us that the work that we do creates meaningful change.  

Since we were formed our research and information and guidance teams have worked with thousands of people across Essex to understand the bigger picture of how people experience health and social care here. We take the time to explore trends and work closely with providers to ensure that what we capture can help shape improvements.
