Healthwatch Leeds

We make sure your voice influences health and care services so that these services are made better. Understanding our work & what we do

1.

Healthwatch Leeds is here to help local people get the best out of their local health and care services by bringing their voice to those who plan and deliver services in Leeds. We actively gather views from local people and communities about their experiences of services. We use these in different ways to influence change. Good Practice Principles

2. We work together with our health and social care partners to identify how we can have the most influence and make the best use of our resources.

3. When services are planned or changed, we ensure that local people are being listened to. We will always check whether their views have been taken into account.

4. We provide an information, advice and signposting service for the public about finding and accessing health and care services.

Yesterday afternoon we were at East Leeds Health Centre supporting University of Leeds and NHS research looking at how physiotherapy appointments work in GP surgeries. We’re speaking with men from diverse communities to encourage them to take part and share their experiences.

Yesterday, Parveen, our Community Project Worker, and Hannah, one of our volunteers, met with health justice officers from the Probation Service, despite the challenging weather.

They shared what they have been hearing from people on probation about the difficulties of registering with a GP. This includes how being asked about previous addresses at reception can feel uncomfortable and act as a barrier to access.

After 20 GP appointments, Jessica Brady was tragically misdiagnosed and lost her life to cancer at just 27. Her parents’ fight for justice has led to Jess’s Rule - a critical change in primary care.

Next time you are at your GP surgery, look for the Jess’s Rule poster. If you are struggling with the same, worsening symptoms, this rule gives you the power to ask for a second opinion or a face-to-face appointment.

Some brilliant and thought-provoking training from Niccola and Scotty from the Co-Production Collective yesterday, helping us really think about how we can further embed coproduction into who we are and how we work. It was great to have colleagues from Healthwatch Wakefield, National Institute for Health and Care Research Leeds Biomedical Research Centre and West Yorkshire Voice join us as well. Feels excited and energising to be moving forward on our co-production journey.
