Healthwatch Bucks is the independent not-for-profit organisation that gives the residents of Buckinghamshire a voice. We talk to the people that run health and social care services, including hospitals, dentists, GPs and care homes and help shape and improve them. Our aims are to: • Listen to the residents of Buckinghamshire, so we understand what they think about health & social care • Influence the right people so that their views make a difference to health and social care services • Change the way health and social care services are commissioned and delivered for the better We have the power to ensure that people’s voices are heard. As well as seeking the public’s views ourselves, we also encourage services to involve people in decisions that affect them and can influence decision making at a local level. Our sole purpose is to help make care better for people.
