Healthwatch Leicester and Healthwatch Leicestershire (HWLL) are the independent local champion for health and social care services in Leicester and Leicestershire. Part of their role is to understand the experiences of people who are using these services and to give people an opportunity to speak up and have their voices heard.
They are presently consulting on what patient’s think of local urgent mental health services.
They state that they know through patient feedback that patients find it difficult to know where to go for mental health support.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic impact on Mental Health, they want to find out what is the patient experience of using urgent mental health services.
The survey closes on 14 March 2021 and can be accessed here.
