Healthwatch East Sussex Annual Event 2022
As our first ‘in person’ annual event since 2019 it was great to see approximately 50 people in attendance, made up of members of the public and our colleagues from statutory and voluntary organisations.
Many thanks to all those who attended, and we hope that you found the event useful and enjoyed it as much as we did. It was great to be able to share our achievements in 2021-22 and plans for 2022-23, as well as to receive feedback and engage in lively discussions about the future of health and care in East Sussex.

Following our speakers and questions and answer session, we hosted a breakout session discussing health and care in 2022 and beyond.
Within these sessions our groups discussed the following questions.
