Healthwatch East Sussex Listening Tour Activity begins in Eastbourne
Our Listening Tour is currently visiting Eastbourne to listen to the views of residents, communities and professionals. Our activities include:
- Our dedicated survey
- Stakeholder events
- Attending community groups and events
- Collating the insight we have captured on that area via our Feedback Centre, Information and Signposting service and other channels
We invite all residents and service providers in East Sussex to take part in our Listening Tour and help shape the future of local health and care services. We want to hear from patients and members of the public, as well as staff and volunteers working in voluntary and statutory services supporting people across the county.
Eastbourne Listening Tour Workshop
Have your say on local health and care in Eastbourne by attending our Listening Tour Workshop.
Date: Wednesday 25th February 2026
Time: 10:00am – 12:30pm
Location: Emmanuel Church, 48A Upperton Rd, Eastbourne, England, BN21 1LQ
Our workshop will listen to people's experiences of health and care in Eastbourne and ask what local decision-makers should focus on.
Discussion will be informed by the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, including the three major shifts from:
- Hospital to community
- Analogue to digital
- Sickness to prevention
Our Listening Tour workshop is open to anyone with a role or interest in health, care, or wellbeing.
We welcome professionals, practitioners, volunteers and the public.
Listening Tour survey
Share your experiences with us quickly and simply at any time by completing our online digital survey.
Through our survey we are keen to hear:
- your experiences of local health and care services
- what works and what needs improving
- how your wellbeing can best be supported
You can take part in our survey by clicking the link below. If you require any help with completing the survey or require it in a different format, please get in touch.
Sharing our insight
The insight we collect through our Listening Tour will be used to develop a report for each area we visit and shared with service providers and commissioners.
You can read reports from other areas here.
The insight we develop is used to:
- Identify where services are working well or where change may be needed, by sharing feedback with commissioners and providers
- Escalate concerns or issues to decision-makers such as the Health & Wellbeing Board or Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (HOSC)
- Inform and prioritise future Healthwatch activity and projects
- Support Integrated Community Teams responses to local priorities
