Your spotlight on local services

Healthwatch Dorset is the local, independent watchdog for health and social care in Dorset.

Tell us your experiences of health and social care services in the county. We want to hear both the good and the bad. We will tell services about your experiences of health and care. We'll tell them what you think is good. But we'll also tell them what you think needs improving, and how they could do it. We can also provide information to help you find your way round the health and social care system and understand what to do when things go wrong.

Use the Speak Out button above to tell us your experiences.
