Your new digital impact tracker

Plan follow-up activity, keep track of progress toward achieving anticipated outcomes, and record your impact with the digital impact tracker.

This latest impact tracker has been designed to help your Healthwatch more easily record and update notes of outcomes you are working towards, keep track of follow-up dates and then summarise what you have achieved.

Integrated into the national digital platform, you can use it flexibly in whatever way best suits your team. The level of detail you record is entirely up to you. Decide how to incorporate completing it into your own ways of working.

It could be just what’s needed to help ensure everyone’s follow-up actions are stored in a single location that’s accessible to you all.

About this resource

The tracker will help you to:

  • Plan follow-up work to check what success you've had.
  • Reduce the possibility of things being overlooked.
  • More easily access details about your achievements for reporting and publicity purposes, including an ability to download all or selected content to a .csv file for use elsewhere.
  • Share your achievements with Healthwatch England, should you wish, so that we can promote these during national conversations.

Your entries on the tracker stay confidential to your Healthwatch unless you choose to share them with Healthwatch England.
