Healthwatch are organisations with statutory functions funded by, but independent from, local authorities. In south east London there are six independent Healthwatch which are coterminous with the six boroughs in south east London (Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark).
The six local Healthwatch across south east London are the independent champion for people who use health and social care services. Healthwatch listen to what people like about services and what could improve, and share their views with partner organisations across south east London.
They build their knowledge of health inequalities from people and communities as well as official data sources. They use their influence to make a difference, encouraging action to tackle health inequalities and holding organisations to account. Healthwatch also help people find the information they need about services in their area.

Throughout July, more than 150 local people attended a series of webinars, which were an opportunity to discuss with their local NHS, care and voluntary sector colleagues about what most matters to them and their family and friends.
With changes taking place to the health and care system from 1 July, Folake Segun, Director of Healthwatch in South East London explains why local people are key to making change happen, and encourages residents to share their views and experiences of using health and care services.
