Happy New Year from us!
We almost can't believe how quickly 2025 came around! Last year was such a busy and packed year with multiple projects, lots of events and even bringing in new team members🤝
Now we're back to it with projects on the go and events to attend!
Action for Wellness Update
You may remember this from last month's newsletter we shared that we were working with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) on a campaign called Action For Wellness.
Well, Action for Wellness is currently in full swing! We have a Health and Wellbeing Day open to young people, parents and professionals coming up alongside an art competition where winners will be drawn on the day to win a voucher.
In line with our commitment to sharing information, support and advice, you can still catch our Lunch and Learn online workshops next week! These are aimed towards professionals, and you can attend one with Childline and the NSPCC by clicking those links.
Women's Health Report
Phase 1 of our Women's Health report is now live after our survey gathered the opinions of over 300 women in Lancashire on the state of healthcare available to them.
We discovered three key themes that were shared by women when asked their main priorities and concerns. These were Mental Health, Gynaecological Health and Menopause.
We are now encouraging women across Lancashire to get in touch and share their personal experiences navigating these three key themes and what support they are accessing or would like to see more of.

What is an Enter and View?
At Healthwatch Lancashire one of our regular tasks is to conduct Enter and Views in healthcare settings such as GPs, Hospitals, Pharmcies and Care Homes.
During an Enter and View visit, we talk to staff and patients about the care that is given at the organisation and the quality of it. We also look into things like accessibility on our visits such as ramps, dementia-friendly clocks, etc.
We conduct Enter and View visits to identify best practices in health and social care settings and to pinpoint areas requiring improvement.
