The Healthwatch East Sussex Listening Tour focuses on different areas of East Sussex, to hear from local people about their experiences of health and care services in the area, and what could be done to improve things. Findings are then shared with local services, including the NHS and council, and highlight what needs to be done to make services better. Healthwatch work with services to make sure that people’s views are listened to and acted upon.
Do take this opportunity to come and talk to the team. Whilst you’re there, do support Chef John who will be serving tasty snacks from the Central Hall café at reasonable prices!
There is also an online survey they are inviting people to complete: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HWESHastingsLT2025/

Food and Health, with Josh Broadway from the Sussex ICB.
Using a creative approach, and a ukulele the facilitator will discuss motivational interviewing and various tools to use when having in-depth conversations. Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based approach to behavioural change. It focuses on ‘change talk’ to determine what stage an individual is at in The Stages of Change Model. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative and goal-oriented style of communication that is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change. Motivational interviewing is a guiding style of communication that focuses on empowering individuals to change by drawing out their importance and capacity for change. It focuses on an individual’s strengths rather than weaknesses and is not a way to confront or instruct an individual on how to go about a behavioural change. Participants will gain an understanding of this approach and learn various techniques to apply in their own practice or day-to-day life. This course applies to anyone with an interest in the subject
