Enter and View reports

Healthwatch Portsmouth, like other local Healthwatch organisations, has a statutory power to carry out so call Enter and View visits whereby authorised representatives go in and look at local services as they are being delivered, to collect the views of service users at the point of delivery, and to collect the views of carers and relatives. Enter and view visits can look at all local services including hospitals, residential homes, GP practices, dental surgeries, optometrists and pharmacies.

Enter and View visits can happen if people tell us there is a problem with a service or they can occur when services have a good reputation – so that we can learn about and share examples of what they do well from the perspective of people who experience the service first hand.

Visits are arranged in advance and are carried out by trained Healthwatch Portsmouth authorised representatives, who have all undertaken DBS checks.

These visits offer a snapshot of impressions on the day; they are not inspections of the care being offered and should be read alongside Care Quality Commission reports. After the visit findings are shared with the service providers and their response incorporated into the final report.
