It's a legal requirement for your local Healthwatch to produce an annual report by the end of June. To help you do this, we have provided a template, which is available in PowerPoint and InDesign formats on the Communications Centre (Brandstencil).
The template uses our latest brand guidelines and includes guidance on how to complete your report, what to change, and what to include.
Please note you will need to be logged in to see the resources on the Communications Centre. There is one account per local Healthwatch. If you are having problems accessing your account, please email hub@healthwatch.co.uk.
It's great if you personalise the report with local photography. However, we are aware that many local Healthwatch struggle to source photography and do not have the budget to purchase many stock images. Check out our Flickr albums for a range of high-quality photos that are free for you to use.
As part of our brand identity we have a collection of simple line icons. These are used in this year's template, but should you wish to change any of them you can access the full suite here. We advise using the navy icons throughout, unless there is a dark background, in which case you should use the white icons.
We want to help you produce the best report you can, so we have been running a series of webinars to help make the process easy and straightforward for you.
This recorded session will help you understand how to use the PowerPoint template, including changing pictures, updating text, and adding or deleting slides.
These interactive sessions will show you how you can best highlight your achievements from the last year, how to write great case studies and how to demonstrate the difference your work made.
