Kent Health Watch

Helping you comment on health and social care. Carer with her patient

Kent Health Watch will help you find the right place to make compliments or complaints, comments or concerns about health and social care. It covers all health and social care services delivered within Kent along with services commissioned for Kent residents but provided elsewhere.

The service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week by telephone, texphone and email.

Kent Health Watch will be run like a Directory Enquiry service, helping people to get through to the right contact whenever they want to make comments or concerns about health or social care.

About Kent Health Watch

Kent Health Watch is run by KCC in partnership with the NHS and provides another route by which people can make their voice heard. Kent Health Watch:

  • is a 'signposting' service that points callers in the right direction
  • helps ensure that all feedback about health and social care services in Kent - including compliments and complaints, comments and concerns - are captured in the most appropriate manner
  • helps the NHS to ensure that all public views and suggestions are taken into account to improve services
  • adds to and enhances, rather than replaces, existing services.

Data collected by Kent Health Watch - either by telephone or email - will be recorded and reported back to the NHS and Kent County Council.
