The Healthwatch North and West Northamptonshire annual work plan helps provide commissioners and key stakeholders with an overview of planned activity for the next 12 months.
It is also a useful tool for review and evaluation. Each year in February, Healthwatch staff and volunteers review the previous year’s work and set the next year’s work based on information and intelligence gathered throughout the year along with other partner and stakeholder key priorities. Healthwatch North and West Northamptonshire’s strategic priorities are also revisited and reviewed at the same time to ensure they are aligned with our Vision and Values.
All our work is delivered within a very tight budget, which currently stands at £195k per annum to cover staff, volunteers and operational costs.
To enable us to continue to provide a quality service with an experienced staff team we also offer bespoke commissioned work to key stakeholders and partners to bring in additional income throughout the year to support the Healthwatch work.
