Our Advisory Group
The Advisory Group is the key priority setting structure in Healthwatch Brent. It brings together the experience and expertise from the other parts of our governance structure to make sure we are effective, inclusive and transparent when deciding where to focus our attention.
The Advisory Group determines which aspects of health and social care will be looked at as a priority each year. It must remain independent of any undue influence and be free to select the priorities it feels represent the best for the residents of Brent. Transparency, rigour, and objectivity are the basis for The Advisory Group's effective and successful working.
