Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do.
Last year, over 4,800 Healthwatch volunteers helped communities across the country have a say on the health and care they need.
Whether you want to gain valuable work experience, help improve care in your community or learn new skills, there are lots of ways you can join us to make a real difference.
Our volunteers support us in many different ways. From speaking to local people to find out what they think about health and care, to using these views to influence those who run services, volunteers play an important role at Healthwatch.
How do they make a difference?
Medical students make care better in Staffordshire
Medical students at Keele University volunteered their time with Healthwatch Staffordshire. They played a vital role finding out what people thought about local GP, pharmacy and other community services, and helping to inform future changes.
