The start of April marks the third birthday of local Healthwatch. To celebrate this event, we are encouraging Healthwatch volunteers and members of the public to share via social media how you hope to make people's voices count in the year ahead using #MakeYourVoiceCount. You can #MakeYourVoiceCount by getting involved either as a team or as an individual. You may have a personal experience of health and social care in Stockport and want to make a difference.
