In March 2020, it became apparent that the COVID-19 Pandemic would impact all of our lives. From 23 March, a UK wide lockdown was enforced and health and care services were forced to adapt to cope with demand. During this time, we have all had to re-think how we do things and how we access support when and where we need it.
Therefore, Healthwatch Oldham want to better understand your experiences during this time and gather information about what you think could make the situation easier to live with. We want you to tell us what is working well, as well as what could be improved. Others may have had similar experiences to yours, and the more we learn, the more we can work with services to inform them of possible solutions to issues people have faced. Maybe there is some good practice to be shared with different services so they can adopt these measures to help others access their services. Click here to complete the survey.
Do you know someone who would like a paper version of this survey? Please get in touch on 0161 622 5700 or email info@healthwatcholdham.co.uk with contact address details. We will post a survey, with a FREEPOST envelope for return of the completed survey. We can also complete the survey over the phone if people would prefer that.
The information we collect will be anonymous, so you can be completely open and honest.
The survey will close on 31 July 2020. Please complete this based on your experiences of NHS and Care Services from 1 March 2020 onwards.
