Healthwatch Lewisham

Healthwatch Lewisham Ensuring your voice counts when it comes to shaping and improving local health and social care services.

Healthwatch Lewisham is the independent champion for people who use health and social care services. We exist to ensure that people are at the heart of care. We listen to what people like about services, and what could be improved and we share their views with those with the power to make change happen. At a local level, Healthwatch Lewisham works to help local people get the best out of their loc

al health and social care services. Whether itโ€™s improving them today or helping to shape them for tomorrow. Healthwatch Lewisham is all about local voices being able to influence the delivery and design of local services. Not just people who use them, but anyone who might need to in future.
