Healthwatch Manager - Tracey Allan-Jones
Tracey’s working background has been very varied, ranging from project and team management roles in large computing and telecommunications corporations, to setting up and running small internet-based businesses. She also volunteered in several roles in the community, including Parish Councillor, School Governor and fundraiser for the annual Village Show. Tracey joined Healthwatch Rutland as Office Manager in April 2016 and pretty much got involved in all activities from communication and marketing through events planning, signposting, engagement and outreach, and general office support. Much of the work of Healthwatch Rutland is undertaken by volunteers – residents of Rutland who feel passionately about making sure the county gets the best possible provision for health and social care. Together with our board and volunteers Tracey’s aim as Manager is to ensure that Rutland people’s voices are heard through the collection of data and experiences, and shared with commissioners and service providers to inform decision-making.

Community Engagement Officer - Hollie Hughes
Hollie joined the Healthwatch Rutland team in September 2023 after spending seven years coordinating two projects for Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland. The projects were linked to alcohol awareness and digital inclusion and through this she was able to build valuable experience of engaging with local communities. Hollie completed a BA (Hons) degree in Early Childhood Studies and gained an Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) at the University of Worcester in 2011. Working towards these qualifications meant that Hollie spent time within a variety of settings including Children’s Centres, nurseries and schools. Hollie took a particular interest in working with children who have special educational needs and focused her dissertation on safeguarding children with speech and language difficulties. She has always enjoyed working with people and being out in the community and Hollie looks forward to working with the Healthwatch team to give local people a voice and influence health and social care within Rutland.
