Liz talks about her volunteering role with sexual health and the Local Healthwatch Advisory Group

Liz talks about her volunteering role:

“Representing Healthwatch Surrey at the Sexual Health Outreach Group and advocating for Surrey patients and residents has been very rewarding and influenced services in Surrey. Commissioners and service providers have valued our continued focus and questioning about services being accessible for all groups. Consequently, they have taken action to provide information in different formats and enabled more residents to be able to access key sexual health services.

As a Local Healthwatch Advisory Group member, I also support the team to set priorities, giving a perspective on local health and social care services which have been commissioned and also highlight gaps and services requiring improvement. This role shines a spotlight and gives candid insights onto the local health and social care sector.

As a volunteer with Healthwatch I really can make a difference to services I care passionately about.”
