Our Work
At Healthwatch Calderdale we work on a variety of projects. We respond to feedback from the public to help influence the direction of our work as well as participate in national cooperative work with other organisations. This allows Healthwatch to be reactive and flexible when new problems come up in the community.
If there are issues you think we should be working on, or there are any problems with any of the reports below, please contact us on info@healthwatchcalderdale.co.uk or by phone on 01422 399 433.

Leaving hospital: experiences of those needing reablement support at home or intermediate care
Hospital discharge is a common topic in the feedback Healthwatch receives. Our data shows that some people struggle when they are discharged without enough support, which can slow their recovery and increase the risk of being readmitted. Healthwatch Kirklees and Healthwatch Calderdale wanted to learn about people’s experiences with the different hospital discharge pathways.
In this report you’ll find:
- A summary of our findings
- Our recommendations
- Our findings and experiences on planning for discharge, care received in intermediate care setting, support at home from reablement services, carer’s experience, health inequalities, and Age UK’s Home from Hospital Service (in partnership with Community Transport)
