Grantham: Tell Healthwatch Lincolnshire about your most recent health or social care experience

A major new study by Healthwatch Lincolnshire will measure how health and social care is working in the county ahead of changes to the way health and care is managed and provided.

The survey gives everyone in the county the chance to share their latest health and social care experiences to create a picture of the state of health and social care in Lincolnshire.

The timing couldn’t be better for public voice to have real impact with significant changes on the way. This involves national and local changes to the NHS and proposed changes to local councils. This is in addition to the plans being driven by the government’s Department of Health and Social Care and the recent release of the 10-Year Health Plan.

It’s vital we know what it’s really like for people living in our county when they use local services, from GP surgeries, hospitals and dentists to social care, community support or any other professional who helps with health or care.

Healthwatch Lincolnshire will also use these results to see what’s working well and where improvements are needed to influence those who plan, deliver and monitor services across Lincolnshire, including the NHS, local councils and care providers. Main survey link

The survey covers:

Your most recent experience of health services
Your most recent experience of care services
GP (general practice) services
Pharmacy services
Dental services
Community health services – including community nursing, occupational and physiotherapy, Lincolnshire Stroke Service, and palliative end-of-life care
Hospital services – including planned, inpatient and emergency care
Mental health services
Social care – including home care, care homes, children’s services, Lincolnshire Carers Service, home adaptations and equipment for independence
Wellbeing and lifestyle services – for example Wellbeing Lincs and One You Lincolnshire
Charity, voluntary, community or faith organisations or groups
