Our job is to listen to what you have to say about health and social care. When you need help, we're here to support you.
About the Organisation
Healthwatch Kirklees are a watchdog for NHS and Social Care services in Kirklees. We take feedback (positive or negative) from the general public about their experiences of NHS and Social Care services in Calderdale.
It’s crucial that the voices of people who use health and social care services are clearly heard and valued by decision makers. That’s our role.
Healthwatch Kirklees is here to gather and represent the views of adults, young people and children living or using services in Calderdale. We want to know what’s working well and what needs to be changed. Together we can make a difference!
As an online feedback collector, your role will be to collect feedback about people’s experiences of health and social care services that has been left online. There is a huge amount of information on the internet and social media about people’s experiences and views of health and social care services. You can help us collect this information to inform our work at Healthwatch Calderdale to help inform the changes health and care services can make to improve care for all.
From Facebook groups, local newspapers to more official forms of feedback run by organisations, such as local charities and community groups, there are a variety of places online where people leave their reviews and experiences about the care they receive. With the data being vast and ever-changing, we need volunteers to help us collect information to help identify gaps or issues in the care being provided to people in Kirklees. You will need access to the internet and emails and experience of using Microsoft Office. As an online Feedback collector you will help us to promote Healthwatch Calderdale making our reach much greater. You might get involved in giving us feedback on documents, gathering feedback from family and friends, or another skill you might want to develop is voice-overs for our social media.
