Healthwatch Dorset is your local health and social care champion. From Sherborne to Swanage, and everywhere in between, we make sure NHS leaders and decision makers hear your voice and use your feedback to improve care.
If you’ve recently visited your doctor or used any health and care services in Dorset we want to hear from you. We’re completely independent and impartial and anything you say is confidential. We can also help you find reliable and trustworthy information and advice.
Healthwatch Dorset is part of a network of over 150 local Healthwatch across the country. We work together through Healthwatch England to make sure your feedback creates positive change in health and care nationally as well as locally. To find out more watch our short video here.
We work closely with our volunteers and with Dorset voluntary and community sector to help us reach a broad range of local communities. Each year we identify 3 or 4 issues of local concern to work on and all our findings and reports can be seen here.
To find out what we’re up to you can sign up for monthly e-newsletters here.
