These new learning networks will champion patients’ views and experiences, promote the integration of local services and improve choice for patients through advice and access to information. Local HealthWatch will provide a collective voice for patients and carers, and advise the new Clinical Commissioning Groups on the shape of local services to ensure they are informed by the views of the local community."

This two-sided approach has been at the core of the project since we began in 2005."
