Fairfield Report 2024

Report - 14 August 2024

Part of the local Healthwatch duty is to carry out Enter & View visits. Local Healthwatch representatives carry out these visits to health & social care services to find out how they are being run and make recommendations where there are areas for improvement.

The Health and Social Care Act allows local Healthwatch authorised representatives to observe service delivery and talk to service users, their families and carers on premises such as hospitals, residential homes, GP practices and dental surgeries. Enter & View can happen if people tell us there is a problem with services or, equally, if services have a good reputation so we can learn about them and share good practice from the perspective of the people who experience the service first hand.
