Healthwatch in Kent is asking residents in Deal and Dover to tell them about their experiences at East Kent Hospitals.

The new, independent consumer champion for health and social care users has organised nine listening events throughout May, all over East Kent.

A team will be in Dover on Tuesday, May 19, from 10am until 12.30pm.

People can also share their experiences over the phone, by email or text.

Communications leader Nicky Scott said: “Hospital services in East Kent will need to change in the future to cope with our increased population and the complexity of our health needs. If you live in East Kent and have used hospital services in the past few years, we need to hear your experience.

“Your experience will be used to help design a better service that can cope with the current demands.”

To find out more about the location and to reserve a place on Tuesday, contact healthwatchkent@gmail.com

Share your experience in confidence over the phone on freephone 0808 801 0102, email info@healthwatchkent.co.uk or text 07525861639.

Use the text service if you need a BSL interpreter.
