Healthwatch Croydon Receives Commended Recognition at National Awards

Each year the Healthwatch Network Awards celebrate the work of Healthwatch organisations in improving healthcare services and outcomes for communities nationwide. And we just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who partook in this project including participants and stakeholders.

Commenting on the award, Louise Ansari, Chief Executive of Healthwatch England said:

“The team should feel really proud. Our awards recognise outstanding work that makes a real difference to local people, and the competition this year from across England was very high.

“Being recognised is also a testament to all the local people who were prepared to speak up and the health professionals who listened. It just shows what can be achieved when we work together to improve care.”

Gordon Kay, Healthwatch Croydon Manager said:

“It has been great to be recognised by Healthwatch England for the impact of our work in supporting Croydon’s Black African and Black Caribbean communities. This provided us with an opportunity to showcase Croydon on a national stage. Of course, we would not have been able to do this without our close partnership working with Croydon BME Forum and wider members of the One Croydon Alliance in taking resident insight and turning it into a sustainable programme of initiatives. This shows how focus, partnership and patient determination can deliver impact for residents and communities. I hope there may be other opportunities to show the good work taking place in Croydon in years to come.”
