Healthwatch Calderdale has now published its Hypermobility Syndromes report – thank you to everybody who took part.

The purpose of our project was to collect the voices of adults with hypermobility syndromes in Yorkshire and the Humber in order to develop an understanding of their health and social care experiences. 

There was also an opportunity for participants to tell us anything else that they felt was relevant to their experience of their condition.

We had over 250 responses to the survey – thank you to everyone who took part. 

In 2017 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in Kirklees stopped automatic repeat prescriptions in an attempt to cut down on medicines waste.

When we go out into the Kirklees community we have heard a couple of stories that we wanted to share.

In the last 6 months we have heard stories from people who have had their Continuing Health Care packages changed and replaced with social care support instead. This is often for people with long term, severe illness.

We’d like to hear from people who use Adult Social Care services in Kirklees and Calderdale. Whether that’s respite care, day services, supported living, home care or something else, if you would like to tell us your story, or if you care for someone and would like to tell us about your experience, please get in touch.
