Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees We are the independent champion for people who use health and care services across Stockton. Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees is a part of Healthwatch England.

We are the independent champion for people who use health and social care services. We listen to what people tell us about the services they use locally and want to know what is working well and what needs to be improved. Where necessary we have a statutory power to go into any health or social care premises to see at first hand the service being delivered. We can talk to patients/carers and to staff members to gather more information. We share the information we gather with those who have the power to make change happen. We also help people find the information they need about services in their area.

Quitting smoking helps more than just your health.

It can mean having more years to spend with loved ones, and more money to spend on family days out.

If you're thinking about quitting smoking, the NHS has lots of advice and information to help you on your journey.

Speak to your GP or call the free Smokefree National Helpline on: 0300 123 1044.

"Manager's Reflection: Mental Health and The Importance of Listening"

Mental health problems are not always easy to see, but they can cause real pain. Everyone’s experience is different, so there is no one way to recover.

Sometimes, simply being listened to and understood can be the first step towards feeling better.

Natasha reflects on the importance of listening in the latest blog: https://bit.ly/4xVaZxz

As a Governor for the University Hospital Tees (UHT), Natasha was delighted to attend the UHT Annual General Meeting and Annual Members Meeting yesterday at Teesside University.

The event provided an opportunity for Governors and members of the public to reflect on the achievements, challenges and progress of the past year and hear about the plans for the future.

It also offered a chance for our Healthwatch Stockton-on-Tees team to engage with members, patients, staff and stakeholders.
