Healthwatch Cornwall: Amplifying your voice on mental health services

Tuesday 18th February, 2025

Healthwatch Cornwall is the independent champion for everyone using health and social care services. Its aim: to listen to your experiences and ensure your voices shape the services you rely on.

From its headquarters in Calenick House in Newham’s Heron Way, Healthwatch Cornwall has been gathering feedback from over 400 Cornwall residents since October. By analysing the results, the team hopes to gain a better understanding of the realities of mental health services in the county, identifying what’s working well, where challenges remain, and the positive initiatives making a difference in our communities.

This valuable insight has informed the upcoming Mental Health Report, due for publication this month. The report will share Healthwatch Cornwall’s findings, highlighting real experiences and ideas for change while recognising the efforts already being made to improve services.

But its work doesn’t stop there. Healthwatch Cornwall is keen to hear your views about all aspects of health and social care in Cornwall. Whether it’s mental health, dental care, or hospital services, your experiences are vital in helping the team understand where changes are needed so it can advocate for change.

“Together, we can help create better health and social care services for everyone in Cornwall.”
