The Covid-19 pandemic has expedited a significant increase in the use of remote consultations in outpatient settings across the North West Coast. 

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, we understand the move to more remote and digital options happened at speed, with quick decisions being made in light of national guidance from NHS England.

Healthwatch Together quickly created a survey in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the aim of finding out how the people of Cumbria and Lancashire were coping during this difficult time.

This report is based on conversations with the Windrush Health Group in Preston, a group of Black Caribbean men, aged 29-66 years. 

The Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCFT) is currently working on updating its Clinical Strategy.

This report focuses on the feedback given by 82 respondents to the survey for the relatives of residents in care homes. The responses came from 24 different care homes. 

Healthwatch Lancashire wanted to gain insight into the lives of refugees, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In February 2020 Healthwatch Lancashire (HWL) undertook a qualitative and consultative project with the aim of finding out directly from Care Home managers’ perspective the issues that the local social care economy was experiencing.
