About Us

Healthwatch Cheshire East is the local independent consumer champion for Health and Care services in Cheshire East.

You may have seen one of our team or volunteers out and about around Cheshire gathering people’s views and experiences of the Health and Care services they receive, in order to help inform the priorities and quality of services commissioned by the NHS and local authorities.

You need services that work for you, your friends and family. That’s why we want you to share your experiences of using health and care with us – both good and bad. We use your voice to encourage those who run services to act on what matters to you.

As well as championing your views locally, we also share your views with Healthwatch England who make sure that the government put people at the heart of care nationally.

Health and care that works for you

People want health and social care support that works – helping them to stay well, get the best out of services and manage any conditions they face.

Our purpose

To find out what matters to you and to help make sure your views shape the support you need.

People’s views come first – especially those who find it hardest to be heard. We champion what matters to you and work with others to find ideas that work. We are independent and committed to making the biggest difference to you.
