Stakeholder Perceptions Survey: Template for local Healthwatch

Healthwatch need strong working relationships and influence with key individuals within stakeholder organisations to make a difference for residents. 

This stakeholder perceptions survey allows you to evidence your Healthwatch’s strengths and areas for development in stakeholder relations with key health and social care, local authority, and non-profit sector professionals.

The survey template has been shared on SmartSurvey with all local Healthwatch accounts provided through Healthwatch England. 

The guidance on using the survey provided here includes a copy of all survey questions and accompanying text so you can create the survey on another platform if necessary.

The conclusions you reach from your survey can form the starting point for you to produce a stakeholder influencing plan. This plan can include a set of priority actions that you will take to ensure you:

• maintain and build on the strengths you’ve identified where stakeholders agreed that statements applied to you;
• address areas where stakeholders didn’t sufficiently often agree that the statement applied to you.
