Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth & Torbay are an independent charity who gather views and feedback from people about their experiences of NHS health services and social care. We work to make sure lessons are learnt and improvements made to make care better for everyone when they need it. We also assist people in getting the help the healthcare help they need.
Our vital volunteers can help carry out patient surveys, attend events and speak directly to the public about their views and experiences.

Among the volunteer roles available are:
