Business Analysis and Strategy Development (Healthwatch England)

Healthwatch England has a statutory function to provide support and advice to local Healthwatch and to give information and advice about the views and experiences of the public and people using health and care services.

Healthwatch England has identified that it will become an intelligence-led organisation, which will rely on the quality and consistency of lived experience data collected by local Healthwatch.
