Our annual report for 2021-22
As the NHS undergoes significant structural change, Healthwatch Coventry remains ready and committed to representing the voice of patients and the wider public
How we have made a difference this year
We have supported the Covid-19 vaccination programme by setting up a vaccination information webpage and updated this several times a week. There were 38,280 visits to this page.
When people struggled to see their GP, we made sure that people’s experiences were known by the health regulator and local decision makers.
With non face to face appointments being used a lot, we continued to use our findings and feedback from local people to help services understand barriers.
We made recommendations for action to improve GP phone accessibility after testing this out

As a volunteer with the Clear Information Group my time is spent ensuring information about Coventry's healthcare resources is accessible to all. Joining the group has allowed me to give back to a city that has welcomed me with open arms - I really feel part of the community!
