Lucy’s previous role was Advocacy Manager at Disability Sheffield – she worked in advocacy for 14 years, supporting individuals to have a voice about health and social care services.
Healthwatch has been a key place to take the issues that kept arising for the people she supported, and one route for group voice to be heard. She is excited to join the Healthwatch Sheffield team to continue this work.
Laura has a background in psychology and social research. Her role in Healthwatch Sheffield involves managing the reviews that come in to the rate and review website and identifying trends and specific issues to work on. She is also coordinating our ‘Testbeds’ work, part of a national programme exploring how new technologies can support those with long term conditions. We lead the patient engagement part of the Perfect Patient Pathway test bed. Laura usually works Monday to Thursday.
Holly joined the team after working in information and signposting services. She has also worked as a volunteer for charities in the health and social care sector, and is passionate about the importance of active and engaged local communities. As our Administrator, she supports the wider team in engagement work and gathering feedback.
