Last month we asked whether you preferred having images between articles. The response was mixed.
This month we have included less images than in the past.
With the lifting of lockdown we are slowly getting back to talking to people, face-to-face, at outdoor events.
We are also planning ahead for visits to community groups in Tameside. If you are involved in a group or charity and would like us to talk to your members or service users, please get in touch at www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/work-us. If you are still meeting virtually, we can also get involved via Zoom, or whatever means you may use.
If you know of anyone who has an experience of using health and care services that they want to share before we visit, they can complete one of our surveys, or get in touch directly.
The surveys can be found at www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/share-your-views
If they would like to complete the survey over the phone, or on paper, they can give us a call on 0161 667 2526, or email info@healthwatchtameside.co.uk. Alternatively, they can talk to us about the experience on the phone or by email.
We look forward to hearing from you.
