Healthwatch puts out call for new Non-Executive Directors

News - 3 May 2023

We are looking for local people to join our Board to help us continue to ensure that we are well run and meet our statutory duties as a local Healthwatch. 
Members of the Healthwatch Board in February 2023.

Our Healthwatch has an important role to play in making sure local people have a say in how health and care services are planned and delivered. 

And with services in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough under such enormous pressure, coupled with unequal life chances for those in our poorest areas, there's never been a more important time for Healthwatch.  

As a Non-Executive Director, you'll get a chance to be involved in championing the voice of local people, using your experience from work, volunteering or using services to help make care better for others. 

Join our Board of Directors

And use your skills and experience to help us be a champion for local people.
