Healthwatch outreach

Are you involved in a Tameside community group or charity?

We are planning our talks to groups for the next few months. If you would like us to come to one of your group meetings (either face-to-face or online), please get in touch. We will explain what we do, and provide an opportunity for the group members to tell us about their experiences of using health and care services recently.

If you would like to know more, you can complete the form on our website at www.healthwatchtameside.co.uk/work-us or give us a call on 0161 667 2526 and leave a message on our answerphone. We will call you back. Alternatively, you can email us at info@healthwatchtameside.co.uk.

We look forward to working with you.
