Thank You for Coming to Our Annual Showcase!
On the Day
Throughout the showcase, we took a look back at our past, present, and future — reflecting on the work we've done, where we are now, and what's ahead for Healthwatch Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. It was a chance to bring everyone together to hear from our panellists, connect with stallholders, and celebrate the impact of listening to community voices.
