Healthwatch West Berkshire launch in Boots pharmacies this week



Healthwatch West Berkshire has been out in the community gathering views on health and social care services over the summer.  They’ve enjoyed meeting people ‘on-the-road’ in West Berkshire and are now launching a service in Boots Pharmacies. Whether you are collecting a prescription or grabbing a sandwich, come and have a chat with them about your experiences of local Health and Social Care services.

Healthwatch West Berkshire is the new consumer champion for residents of West Berkshire who use Health and Social Care Services.  Connecting with people through community groups and pharmacies and talking to everyone at a local level is important. They want to hear your experiences, gain your views and feedback to help us shape future Health and Social Care services in West Berkshire.

Launch date – Friday 27th September 10:30 – 1:30

  "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to set up a monthly station in the heart of the community.  We hope to engage with everyone in the community on their terms and want to make the service as accessible as possible for everyone in the community to use.  As far as we are concerned, every voice will count.  Come and talk to us.  What you tell us will make a difference." Lead officer, Healthwatch West Berkshire
