Healthwatch Harrow are your independent champions for making sure that your views on local Health and social care services are heard and fed back to the people who commission services to ensure they improve.
Healthwatch Harrow Forums
Our forum events, held in-person, are an opportunity for local people to share their views and experiences. We also invite the people who plan and run our local services, so that residents may ask questions, and find out more about the services and any proposed changes.
The well-attended events also feature information stalls from local services and community groups.
Insights and Analysis
We listen to people's stories about health and social care services in Harrow. Each and every month, we receive and review around 300 experiences - about services including local GPs and Dentists, Northwick Park Hospital, Mental Health and Social Care Services.
Every story is valued, and evaluated - to establish what has worked well, and what potentially could have worked better. It is our view, that local services should meet the needs of local people.
Our findings are detailed in our trends analysis reports. Produced quarterly (every three months) they report on individual services, and also services as a whole right across the borough. We share the reports with our partners in the NHS and Local Authority, and they are also available right here on the website.
