Mental health problems exist in our lives, families, workplaces and communities, impacting everyone. Mental health problems can affect anyone, any day of the year, but World Mental Health day (10/10) is a great day to show your support for better mental health and start looking after your own wellbeing.

We hold regular meetings with our Committee in public where we discuss what we've been hearing from the public as well as our organisational direction and progress on projects.

Healthwatch Warrington is your local health and social care champion. From North to South Warrington and everywhere in between, we make sure NHS leaders and other decision makers hear your voice and use your feedback to improve care.

This month's Virtual Voices Warrington and Halton Hospital Trust want you to help shape the patient experience strategy for 2023-2026

It’s easy to arrange a blood pressure check. You can simply make an appointment with your GP, practice nurse or at your local pharmacy.

Have you or your loved one been left frustrated after struggling to get a GP referral for tests or treatment? You’re not alone.

When you need specialist NHS support, like hospital tests or treatment, you often need a referral from your GP first. Find out what this includes and what to expect.

Here at Healthwatch Warrington we have been receiving a lot of information on access to Dentistry, this is a national issue and all information we receive is fed back to our local MP and the Primary Care team as well as Healthwatch England.

Led by Healthwatch Warrington, Virtual Voices provides Warrington residents with a unique opportunity to offer their opinions and provide constructive feedback on health and social care services in our town.

Healthwatch Warrington has highlighted the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Children and Young People in Warrington. Our original report in 2020 highlighted issues with services in Warrington. Warrington and Halton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissioned the more detailed report which describes young peoples' experiences throughout lockdown.
