Show Notes
Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!
In this episode, Healthwatch Somerset, our hosts Dr. Peter Bagshaw and David Sealey (Commissioning Manager for Adult Mental Health and Dementia Services), are joined by Gillian Keniston-Goble, the Manager of Healthwatch in Somerset to discuss the work that Healthwatch does, what areas of health and social care they are currently focussed on and how you can get in touch with Healthwatch if you would like to share your experiences of health and social care.
The SEW podcast was a free weekly show hosted by Dr. Andrew Tresidder, Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Kate Staveley; after this episode, it has now become the Health and Self Care podcast. In each episode, the doctors discuss a different topic related to mental and emotional wellbeing and often invite expert guests to join them in conversation. The show is aimed at the people of Somerset and beyond; the advice and guidance provided should apply to anybody who needs it, whenever they need it.
All episodes of the podcast are now available to listen to free through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Google Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts etc. Please stay subscribed to the podcast to receive the new Health and Self Care podcast wherever you get your podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts!
