Healthwatch Stockport's Work
Healthwatch Stockport is committed to improving health and social care services for everyone in the community. We are going to be launching a new work programme reviewing accessibility to primary care for people with additional needs, including those with hearing loss.
Have your say:
Have you had any experience with hearing loss and accessing primary care? By sharing your story, you can help highlight what’s working and what’s not, and help us call for the changes that are still needed to help people get the right care and support.
If you have any experiences you would like to share, visit our Feedback Centre
As part of this, we have also been reviewing NHS Adult Hearing Services in Stockport and will be publishing our report soon.
