"I first came across Healthwatch a few months ago through friends who had used the services. And when an opportunity to complete a placement arose, I was very happy and looking forward to start.
I have spent my time here working on surveys, creating promotional materials and updating the social media accounts. Working within a friendly team, we also ventured out to GP surgeries and hospitals to gain feedback from patients about their services they used.
Overall, this was a valuable experience where I hope to continue to develop the skills I acquired at Healthwatch. My time here at Healthwatch has really solidified my passion for wanting to work in the local community to improve health and social care."
