New fathers, farmers and military personnel wanted for our Healthwatch mental health survey.
New fathers and agricultural workers are among the groups needed for a survey to find out what needs to be improved in their mental health care in Lincolnshire.
The latest project from Healthwatch Lincolnshire takes a mental health focus and wants to hear from groups of people who are currently underrepresented or unheard in healthcare discussions.
By finding out the experiences of new fathers, farmers, farm workers, food factory staff, military personnel and veterans, Healthwatch Lincolnshire can amplify their voices and pinpoint then address their specific needs.

A separate survey has been created for healthcare professionals involved in treating these groups to share their experiences. Follow this link for the professional survey.
This Healthwatch mental health survey is the fourth independent investigation by Healthwatch Lincolnshire in 2024.
It started the year with a menstrual health survey, the results of which can be seen in a video and report on the Healthwatch Lincolnshire website.
That was followed by a respiratory health focus and a survey about the treatment and care of neurological conditions.
