JOINING HAPIA 
Can we thank everyone who has renewed their subscription and for your support for HAPIA – the Healthwatch and Public Involvement Association. 

We believe it is essential for Healthwatch to have a powerful and united voice and to create powerful local and national coalitions. HAPIA acts as a source of expert advice for our members, and works to influence Ministers and Civil Servants on health and social care issues. We campaign for effective patient and public involvement and greater democracy in health and social care. We promote the participation of Healthwatch members and other community organisations in policy debates and in consultations on quality, access and the provision of services. 

HAPIA was set up to support the development of Healthwatch as effective bodies which enable the public to monitor, influence and improve health and social care. We promote democratic and accountable public involvement, which genuinely empowers patients, care receivers and carers to influence planners, commissioners and providers of health and social care, in order to achieve safe and effective services. HAPIA will investigate and challenge health, social care and public health bodies that fail to provide or commission safe, effective, compassionate and accessible services. 

We shall scrutinise the effectiveness of HWE, LHW, IAS (Independent Advocacy Services) as vehicles for public influence, redress and improvement of health, social care and public health services, and examine the effectiveness of Healthwatch in relation to recommendations of the Francis Report. 

HAPIA will communicate key messages and information rapidly and continuously to the Association’s membership and the media. 

If you have not yet sent your subscription, please do so as soon as possible – we need your support.

WHY JOIN HAPIA …
HAPIA is an independent national network of LINks and LINks members committed to putting service users and carers at the centre of health and social care services in every part of the country. 

By joining HAPIA you will help to build a powerful voice for Healthwatch in central government, the Department of Health and the Department of Communities and Local Government. A united voice is essential to influence government policy on the funding and development of Healthwatch and support for individual members. 

What does HAPIA do?  HAPIA provides a cohesive voice for Healthwatch. We enable and encourage greater co-operation and influence across local authority boundaries, and promote the involvement of communities in the key decision-making processes. 

HAPIA acts as a source of expert advice for key stakeholders and works directly to influence Ministers and civil servants on health and social care issues.
