Junior Doctors are striking from Thursday 13-Tuesday 18 July, and then Consultants are striking on Thursday 20 -Friday 21 July. This means that hospitals will be under a lot of pressure again – especially as this is a long period of strike action.

As part of the delegation of NHSE’s direct commissioning functions to integrated care boards (ICB), which includes pharmaceutical, general ophthalmic and dental functions from April 2023, is the transfer of the current primary care complaints function from 1 July 2023 which includes:
• The process of managing complaints
• The transfer of staff from the current NHS England complaints team to ICBs
• The transfer of all ongoing complaints and investigations (received on/after 1 July 2022).

Our annual report includes how we have engaged and supported people over the year. We successfully gathered 2,487 resident's experiences of health and social care services in the London Borough of Bromley and produced 13 reports.

On 23rd February 2023, Healthwatch Bromley visited Homefield, an inclusive purpose-built nursing home, situated in a quiet area of Bickley. The home offers a person-centred nursing care home for up to 42 older people and it is specialised in supporting people living with dementia. Homefield Care Home is provided and run by Mission Care.

A patient experience report with 642 reviews collected this quarter about the health and social care services in the London Borough of Bromley, covering the period from January - March 2023.

During the Junior Doctors’ Strike, hospitals across south east London are likely to be much busier than usual.
Please help us to help you.
