The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns affected people's access to their GP surgeries. Our report details residents experiences of trying to book and attend appointments at their GP practice since lockdown restrictions were lifted on 19 July 2021.

This report looks at the reasons residents give for choosing not to be vaccinated and explores what motivates residents to be vaccinated, risk perception, their experience going through the process from booking a vaccine to receiving a vaccine.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, evidence suggests that fewer people are stopping smoking and more ex-smokers are relapsing.

The 20/21 Annual Report highlights our work, what we've achieved and our plans for next year.

The lockdown imposed from March 2020 brought with it some radical changes to how people are able to access health and care services.

Healthwatch Bexley asked young people aged 11-25 years about the impact that Covid-19 has had on their emotional wellbeing with the aim of increasing awareness of support services that are available for young people.

Healthwatch Bexley engaged with over 700 residents in the London Borough of Bexley to explore their views on the Covid-19 vaccine.

Since COVID-19 struck, the work of the Healthwatch network to support and listen to local people became more crucial than ever.
