Summary of report content

Community Observation Walks are part of the planning process for Healthwatch East Sussex’s Listening Tour which took place in the last two weeks of October 2022. This pre-engagement activity is intended to inform targeted engagement and broaden their networks and connections with local communities.

The report covers the areas where they undertook the community walks and what they observed.

Many paid staff commented on the value of getting out into the community and talking to people. Insight captured informed the Listening Tour focus on people experiencing the poorest health outcomes. One connection was established during the activity with Leaf Hall. Local people who joined the walks also attended the Launch event. The concept of undertaking observation walks as an engagement tool has attracted interest from others to replicate. It provided opportunities to promote Healthwatch services to communities that are unaware of local Healthwatch.

The engagement was used to shape the engagement for the listening tour as a whole.
