Healthwatch Report of Charing Cross Hospital

Public says ‘involve us in Charing Cross Hospital future’

Concerns about the future of Charing Cross Hospital have been repeatedly raised to Healthwatch CWL by Hammersmith & Fulham residents.

To address this, we raised a series of questions to decision-makers in the local NHS. We also spoke to over 200 outpatients, to hear directly from people using Charing Cross Hospital.

We found that:

  •  70% of respondents from Hammersmith and Fulham want opportunities to be involved.
  •   83% of all respondents were ‘very satisfied’ or ‘extremely satisfied’ with treatment on the day.

Christine Vigars, Chair of Healthwatch Central West London said:

“Healthwatch Central West London has compiled this report to support patients and people who use Charing Cross to get their voices heard. We are working to ensure that their views are listened to and acted on by those with the power to make decisions about future health provision locally.”

Opportunity for free, facilitated coaching from senior business mentors

Are you an ambitious organisation looking for support to make the next strategic step in your development?

Pilotlight is an award-winning charity that transforms the lives of disadvantaged people in the UK by offering charities and social enterprises access to the strategic business support they need to become bigger, better and more sustainable. We do this by harnessing and matching the talents of our members – we call them Pilotlighters – to charities through our programmes. All our programmes are project managed by experienced Pilotlight Project Managers who drive for the best outcomes for both our Charity Partners and our Pilotlighters.

We currently have a small number of places available for ambitious organisations that tackle social disadvantaged in the UK and are based in London to participate in our Pilotlight Programme. The programme offers 10 months of facilitated coaching from four volunteer senior business mentors (we call them Pilotlighters), supported by a dedicated Pilotlight Project Manager and is free of charge. Teams meet monthly in our central London office and each project is bespoke to the strategic challenges the organisation is facing.

Two years after their engagement with Pilotlight, our charity partners are on average:

  • reaching 53% more people
  • generating 28% more income

Could this be your organisation?
