“We are genuinely trying to find a way to get alongside small organisations and be helpful.[...] We have learned that being honest with them is a start. And unrestricted funding is a key part of that because it is expressing faith in people.” @PaulStreets_ https://t.co/sf8jJrHj1f

Here's to Healthwatch's 3700 vokunteers

[Healthwatch England @HealthwatchE]

We couldn’t do what we do without our fantastic volunteers. Here’s how they help your voices to be heard #Healthwatch2021

[Gavin Macgregor @GavinMacgregor2]

Not hearing the voice of (patients) is often not the problem. It's valuing the voice and acting on that voice ....that's the challenge. Sir Liam Donaldson #Healthwatch2021

[Gavin Macgregor @GavinMacgregor2]

Inequalities cannot be addressed without conversations with communities which experience them...the voice of people needs to be heard at system level as well as place...which needs a change in culture. Folake Segun, Director SE London Healthwatch #Healthwatch2021

[Gavin Macgregor @GavinMacgregor2]

Great session with @DavidOlusoga at #Healthwatch2021

Really inspiring to see the network wanting to know how things can change - and they can be part of that change. They are definitely up for the challenge and want to see the transformation that is needed.

[Craig McKenna @VolunteeringHWL]

Great to hear from Moses The Volunteer coordinator At the New Beginnings project (@vasnews)
Talking about what your role is as a volunteer to help reduce inequalities.

#Healthwatch2021

[Gavin Macgregor @GavinMacgregor2]

Builds on by @DavidOlusoga who reminded us at #Healthwatch2021 that we all need to play our part in tackling inequalities “Black people cannot do this one on their own. We cannot destroy these ideas that have been around for hundreds of years on our own. It’s work for all of us

[Gavin Macgregor @GavinMacgregor2]

Great session with Healthwatch volunteers #Healthwatch2021 - some great insight shared about a volunteer's experience who is now a Healthwatch Trustee and spoke about the value brought by having diverse Boards - but also the barriers that need to be tackled by us all.

[Healthwatch England @HealthwatchE]

Up next - our Black Staff Network event: Hidden Voices. We’re excited to hear from @DavidOlusoga about the role of Black and Asian communities in the development and delivery of the NHS and why it’s crucial to have often hidden voices in leadership roles #Healthwatch2021

[Healthwatch Redcar and Cleveland @HwRedcarClevela]
