Description

Healthwatch Southend is the local consumer champion for people who use health and social care services. We exist to give a voice to the adults, children and young people of Southend-on-Sea. Healthwatch Southend is an organisation that is independent of the NHS and councils.

Healthwatch has replaced the LINK network of social care support.

If you live in Southend-on-Sea, you should contact us if:

  • you need information or advice about health and social care services
  • you wish to make a complaint about a health service and need help to do so
  • you would like to receive updates on the work we are doing
  • you can offer sone of your time to help us

Where we identify worrying trends or gaps in services, we will investigate and make recommendations to the people who have the power to change things.

If you would like to know more about Healthwatch Southend, how we can help you or how you can get involved in the work we do, please contact us or visit our website.
