Healthwatch Camden is here to give local people a stronger voice in influencing the provision health and social care services in Camden.

We’re coming to the end of 2016, and celebrating Christmas with our friends in our new base in Somers Town Community Association. We’re getting really excited about the opening of the Somers Town & St Pancras Town Living Centre, at the beginning of January.

We were really pleased to hear a parliamentary debate in the House of Lords about the role of Healthwatch, and even more pleased when one peer, Baroness Masham, specifically mentioned Healthwatch Camden, she said:

“I want to tell noble Lords about a positive project. Independent Age, a voluntary organisation, has joined with Healthwatch Camden. Independent Age has developed a quality assessment for care homes based on the things that older people and their families want and need.
