Surrey County Council commissioned Healthwatch Surrey to extend their research among self-funders, care arrangers and carers to understand more about behaviours, motivations and attitudes in planning for care. This phase focused specifically on understanding how people became care home residents.

Our latest Insight bulletin highlights the key themes we’ve been hearing about recently from local people. We also highlight that we’ve been shortlisted for a Healthwatch England Impact Award, our quarterly impact report and the opportunity to have your say in 3 surveys we are currently running. Our engagement schedule for this month is also shared.

This report brings together experiences shared with us by people who have proactively contacted our Helpdesk, who we have spoken to at community engagement events, input from local Citizen’s Advice, as well as drawing on reports and projects from within our Luminus team.

Our end of year bulletin reviews the positive experiences people have shared with us each month and our impact throughout the year.

This report highlights our major impacts throughout our second quarter of 2024/25 (July to September 2024). The report looks at how:

• Our information and signposting service helps local residents
• We deliver on our social care and primary care thematic priorities
• We make a difference at a system level
• We involve people in health and social care.

This report is designed to highlight the themes we have been hearing about and includes quotes from local people to provide context on these themes.

This report provides insights into local people’s views on, and experiences with, health and social care services in East Surrey. It is based on what people have told us at a series of engagement events in the area, as well as enquiries to our Helpdesk, between March and July 2024.

Our latest Insight bulletin highlights the key themes we’ve been hearing about recently, as well as providing information about how we share our insight and our future events. This month we also highlight our latest quarterly impact report,  our social care report ‘Who can help me plan for my future as an older person? – June -2024‘ and our report ‘What we’re hearing about urgent and emergency pathways – July 2024‘ and a shout out to complete/promote the national Healthwatch eye care survey.

This report highlights our findings regarding the information people might require when considering self funding future care.

This report highlights our major impacts throughout our fourth quarter of 2023/24 (January to March 2024).  Our work has included empowering communities to access services online, co-producing advice leaflets to improve people’s knowledge of primary care services, sharing Surrey residents’ experiences of dementia services on a national stage and working in partnership to make services more inclusive through the Accessible Information Standard.
