HEALTHWATCH Sandwell, the borough’s independent consumer champion for health and social care services, has been awarded the Investors in People accreditation.

Pam Jones, Healthwatch chairman said, “I would like to congratulate all of the staff on this achievement. To be awarded this when we are such a new organisation is a real accolade and a recognition of their hard work on behalf of the people of Sandwell. I do not know of any other Healthwatch that has achieved this award.”
