This page will communicate about the work of Healthwatch Kent. We value your views and experiences and we can give you a voice.

Healthwatch Kent is an independent organisation set up to champion the views of patients and social care users across Kent, with the goal of making services better and improving health and wellbeing. It will form a network of people and organisations who are interested in health and social care in Kent. We will take your voice to the people who commission health and social care in Kent. This way we can influence the future of our health and social care services across the county.
