From 1 April 2024, Healthwatch Somerset will be provided by The Advocacy People. If you have previously shared feedback/data with Healthwatch Somerset, this will be transferred to the new provider so that they can continue to deliver the service. If you no longer wish to receive news and information, you can email us.
"I would say to anyone currently looking for a job – volunteering is a great way to start. Healthwatch has helped me to use my degree and get the job I wanted."
