Between March-June 2019, Healthwatch Herefordshire and Healthwatch Worcestershire gathered views across both counties on local NHS priorities featured in the NHS Long-Term Plan.
Healthwatch engaged with communities to understand what community-based provision or activities do, or would, support them to manage their long-term health conditions and frailty (in particular Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Heart Failure and Respiratory conditions).
An increase in feedback to Healthwatch Herefordshire about the realities of being a carer in Herefordshire led us to conduct some research into the lives of carers.
