Healthwatch Wiltshire military report shortlisted for HSJ award
For 45 years, the HSJ Awards have been the most prestigious recognition of healthcare excellence in the UK.
Our report, 'The health needs and experiences of military families in Wiltshire' has been shortlisted for HSJ's Military and Civilian Health Partnership Award.
The Wiltshire Council area is home to around a fifth of the British Army. The aim of our report was to understand the health needs and experiences of military families. We worked with the Wiltshire Council Public Health team, the Armed Forces, the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire ICB and the local NHS.
As part of our report, we developed practical recommendations that will achieve better health outcomes for the military communities. We are continuing our collaborative work with Wiltshire Council and senior military stakeholders as they develop an action plan to respond to our findings.
The awards ceremony will take place on 20th November 2025.
