Eight ... and counting

Our Healthwatch is eight years old this month. Here, CEO Sandie Smith reflects on a unique 12 months. And thanks everyone who has supported us and shared their experiences to help us learn from the pandemic.

‘I was seen in A&E with chest pain - it was due to having Covid pneumonia. Every member of staff was superb. I had bloods, X-ray and ECG. No treatment needed. Just told to go home and rest and that it would take time. Excellent care.’
