Why we make a difference
Healthwatch Newcastle is your local health and social care champion. We need to hear your experiences so we can learn what needs to be improved, and what you want for the future of local services.
We're independent, so people trust us to speak for them. People tell us about both health and social care services, giving us a unique understanding of what's happening - what's going well and what isn't.
