Who we are and what we do
Healthwatch Calderdale is here to gather and represent the views of adults, young people and children living or using services in Calderdale. We want to know what’s working well and what needs to be changed. Together we can make a difference:
We tell the people who run health and care services about your experiences and hold them to account.
We investigate problems and seek solutions.
We have a say in how local services are delivered and designed.
Our voice is your voice. We want excellent health and care services in Calderdale that have been shaped by local needs and experiences. We want to involve people of all ages and from all sections of the community. Please tell us your views.
How we work
We are here to listen to what you like about services and what you think could be improved. No matter how big or small the issue, we want to hear about it.
Where possible, we will let you know when changes are planned to services in our community and help share your opinions. We will also encourage those in charge of local NHS and care services to involve you when changes are being planned to services.
You can also speak to us to find information about health and social care services available locally.
Your views come first – especially if your voice is the hardest to be heard.
We celebrate what matters to you and work with others to find ideas that work. We are independent and committed to making the biggest difference to you.
We are approachable and responsive
Ask what we’re doing and we’ll tell you. We are keen to make information available in the most straightforward and appropriate way.

People contact us for many different reasons:
