September Newsletter

A recent inspection of Fairfields GP Practice, conducted in collaboration with Healthwatch Nottingham & Nottinghamshire, captured patient feedback highlighting generally positive experiences, while also revealing some challenges faced by a diverse and underserved community.

In May 2025, our team carried out an Enter and View visit to Annesley Lodge, a residential care home in Hucknall, to understand what the residents thought of the care they received. Good care is about more than keeping people clean and fed. It’s about making sure they feel happy, included, and respected. Therefore, the team focused on four areas: social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs.

Key highlights include our updates on the future of Healthwatch, highlights from our new GP Access Report, and some updates from our partners. The newsletter also features positive patient feedback, advocacy updates, and key issues raised by the community, all aimed at driving meaningful improvements in healthcare across the region.
