This report provides a summary of what people have told us over the last six months, and the key findings from our recent engagement activities about dentistry, pharmacy and young carers. The report has been shared with North Tyneside’s Health and Wellbeing Board.
It’s been another busy six months for Healthwatch North Tyneside. We’ve just completed our Annual Report that provides an overview of our activity over the past 12 months, and our Strategic Plan setting out our priorities for the next three years.
We have been successful in securing additional funding for additional commissioned work, using our skills in engagement and analysis alongside our independence to deliver different projects and we are in the process of expanding our team.
Our Business Administration Apprentice, Faye Gamble, joined our team in November and works one day a week supporting the Living Well North Tyneside website. Our core Healthwatch team is currently at 4.5 FTE and we have a fantastic team of volunteers, who have dedicated approximately 1,000 hours of volunteering time between September and March.
Our volunteers help us by supporting engagement events, interviewing people over the phone or in person about their experiences of services, administrative support in our office, running focus groups ,and being our trustees. Without them we would not achieve what we do.
