What we do

Healthwatch Rochdale is your local health and social care champion.

If you use health services or need care, we want to hear about your experiences. We have the power to make sure NHS and social care leaders listen to your feedback and improve standards of care. We can also help you to find reliable and trustworthy information and advice.

Wherever you live in England, you’ll also have a local Healthwatch nearby. Last year, we helped over one and half million people like you to have your say and get the support you need.

Our Strategic Objectives

• Seeking people's views on their experience of needing or using health and social care services.
• Seeking the views of people whose voices and views are not always heard and reduce the multiple barriers that some people face in being heard, we will then use their views to bring about change.
• Acting on what we hear to bring about improvements to health and social care policy and delivery.
• Continue to deliver a strong and well-governed organisation that uses its resources for greatest impact, new opportunities, positive outcomes, and value for money.
