In this issue:
Because We All Care
Care Quality Commission, Healthwatch and partners have joined forces to launch ‘Because We All Care’. This new campaign aims to help services identify and address quality issues, as well as support patients in response to COVID-19, by encouraging people to share feedback about their experiences of health and social care services in England. #BecauseWeAllCare is being used with all communications. There is a local Healthwatch in every area of England. We listen to what people like about services, and what could be improved. We share these views with those with the power to make change happen. We can also help you with advice and information to access the support you need. At Healthwatch Tameside you can get in touch in a number of ways: By telephone - 0161 667 2526 By email - info@healthwatchtameside.co.uk or at www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/content/contact We have surveys you can complete: COVID-19 survey - www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/covid-19-survey General experiences survey - www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/our-survey Young people's survey - www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/young-peoples-survey Please pass on the links to your friends and family. The more voices we hear, the stronger our message to commissioners and providers of services can be. Know someone who would like a paper version of a survey? Please get in touch on 0161 667 2526 or email info@healthwatchtameside.co.uk with contact address details. We will post a survey(s), with a FREEPOST envelope for return of the completed survey(s). We can also complete the surveys over the phone, if people would prefer that. Thank you.
