How we help you
Healthwatch Barnsley is your health and social care champion. From Penistone to Goldthorpe and everywhere in between, together we can make health and social care better.
If you’ve recently visited a dentist, pharmacist, or used any health and care services in Barnsley, we want to hear from you.
Whether you’ve had a good or bad experience, we can use your feedback to improve services for everyone. We've the power to make NHS leaders and other care providers listen to what you've to say.
We’re completely independent and impartial, and anything you say is confidential. Our service is free, simple to use, and can make a real difference to people in Barnsley and beyond.
The power of your feedback
We use your feedback to better understand the challenges facing the NHS and other care providers nationally, to make sure your experiences improve health and care services for everyone. We can also help you obtain the advice and information you need to make informed decisions and receive the support you deserve.
It’s really important that you share your experiences – whether good or bad, happy or sad. If you’ve had a negative experience, it’s easy to think there’s no point in complaining and that ‘nothing ever changes’. Or, you might have had a great experience and you wish you could say thank you. Remember, your feedback is helping to improve people’s lives. So if you need advice or are ready to tell your story, we’re here to listen.
