The visit was led by our new associate board members Janet Porter and Stuart Mackenzie, supported by our deputy director Catherine Perez-Phillips.

Our representatives were at the practice from 9:30am until early afternoon collecting patients' views and talking to staff.

Enter and View representatives have undergone special training and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.

All local Healthwatch have a statutory power to Enter and View, a legal right to visit places that provide publicly funded health or care services, to see and hear how people experience the services.

This gives us the opportunity to:
  • Collect the opinions and experiences of people using these services, their carers or relatives.
  • Talk to staff who are providing care
  • See the nature and quality of services
  • Develop insights and make recommendations to improve care

We write and publish a report after each visit. Reports are shared with the organisation visited, the Care Quality Commission, commissioners, quality assurers, Healthwatch England and any other relevant partners.  

If you are a patient at The Neaman Practice and have used the practice in the last six months and wish to share your views and experiences, please email us on info@healthwatchcityoflondon.org.uk

If you would like your feedback included in the Enter and View report, your comments need to reach us by 1 March 2019.
