Shropshire Patient Champion Takes Local Views to Heart of Westminster

Attended by parliamentarians, as well as key decision makers from across the health and social care sector, the event provided an opportunity to speak with them about the work Healthwatch Shropshire has been doing to shape local services on behalf of Shropshire residents. This has included raising the concerns of patients and their families who are using the young people’s mental health services in Shropshire; visiting care homes and services for people with dementia to hear first hand about their experiences; and visiting GP practices to find out how they are meeting the information and communication support needs of patients, service users, carers and parents with a disability, impairment or sensory loss.
