Helping you understand and shape your experience of Integrated Care

You can read the interim strategy here

Healthwatch is committed to listen to the public experience of Health and Social Care and share those stories with decision makers as well as informing you of opportunities to shape the system.

An increasingly large part of this is understanding wider determinants of health, these are factors that affect your health and wellbeing beyond the direct care you receive.

We wanted to explain the less commonly recognised factors that influence your health and wellbeing and how Healthwatch are working to raise your voice and ensure an equal experience across Medway of health and social care. Also ensuring, by taking your voice to decision makers shaping your experience of the place you live, that being a resident gives you the best opportunities to support your wellbeing and that of those you love.
