News and reports

Between September and October 2025, we visited Warwickshire colleges to hear from young people, to find out about the challenges they face, and to provide signposting for support. We invited young people to share their thoughts and experience of vaping.

Pelvic health involves the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs and is particularly important around the childbearing years. Healthwatch Warwickshire are supporting the Coventry and Warwickshire Perinatal Pelvic Health Service to develop information resources and a website by finding out what sort of language and words are understood by the public. The aim is to ensure that the information provided about pelvic health is understandable for all.

Residents and pharmacists across Warwickshire and Coventry were asked to share their thoughts and experiences of local pharmacy services as part of the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

In a bid to improve the health of the nation, the government produced a 10 Year Health Plan to reform the health system. This includes providing care and support closer to where people live, hopefully reducing the need for hospitalisation.

The latest guidance envisages that "integrated neighbourhood teams will be responsible for the health of their local population, working with people, communities and partners to deliver joined-up, proactive and personalised care.“

Have you used the blood test (phlebotomy) service in the last 12 months?

This is the seventh performance report of our new contract. Every three months we provide a report on our activities, and their impact.

This quarter we received 893 pieces of feedback about local services.

When people share their experiences of Adult Social Care, we use this feedback to make a positive difference.

One way we do this is by making your feedback anonymous and sharing it with Warwickshire County Council in a quarterly feedback report.

We share this information with the understanding that it will be used solely for the purpose of improving services for the people who use them.
