Current projects
The role of Healthwatch Lancashire is to gather people’s experiences about health and social care services and use this feedback to inform NHS leaders and decision-makers to help influence change and shape improvements. The feedback we hear is monitored and emerging themes inform our annual work plan.
As a result, we currently have three ongoing projects and we want to hear your views.
Inside Out
We have heard a range of feedback through engagement that many people had experienced poor access to healthcare following release from prison. As a result, we are starting a project, ‘Inside Out’ to explore the continuation of healthcare for those leaving prison, and what issues people are facing when returning home or relocating following their release.
We will be holding focus groups with people who have been released from prison in the last 12 months to hear their experiences. We are also conducting case studies and individual conversations for those who do not want to attend a focus group, but still want to share their experiences.
Do you have an experience you want to share with us? Contact Sue Edwards, Senior Engagement Officer, on:

Disability Voices
Our current project, Disability Voices is now live!
This project is designed to help understand what daily life is like for disabled people in Lancashire and amplify their voice to make recommendations for improvements. Therefore, Healthwatch Lancashire aims to:
- Provide a spotlight and platform for people to share their experiences
- Explore any barriers for disabled people which prevent them living life the way they want to
- Share and communicate the recommendations will support people to live their best life in Lancashire based on their lived experience
