We'd love to hear from you!
do you look after someone who has been discharged from hospital recently?

We have an opportunity to help improve the experience of carers when the person they look after is discharged from hospital. But we can't do it without you!

The NHS has asked us to listen to carers, and help them to understand what could and should be different, so now is the time to tell your story.

Talk to us and help us to make things for others

Would you be willing to chat to us about your experience? We know it can be difficult to find the time to talk, but it could make a huge difference for other people like you whose loved one may be in hospital.

Tell us what worked and what didn't. What could be better?

We'd love to listen to you. 

Let us know if you are interested by calling us on 0808 801 0102 or emailing us on info@healthwatchkent.co.uk 

We have a £20 voucher for anyone who is willing to share their story.
