What is a LINk?
|
|
|
A LINk is an independent,
voluntary organisation, made up of individuals, community groups and organisations, who work together to make local health and social care services better.
|
 |
|
 |
Their job is to find out what people like and don’t like about their local services.
|
 |
 |
The LINk works with people who plan and run
services to help
make them better. This may
involve talking directly to them about a service
that is
not offered, or suggesting ways to make
existing services better.

What will Gloucestershire LINk do?
|
|
 |
Ask local people what they think of
their health
and social care services and give them a chance
to suggest ideas that may help to make them
better.
Ask health and social care managers for
information about services and get actions within
a set time.
|
| |
|
|
|
Visit services and look at how
they
work to make sure they
are working well.
|
 |
| |
|
|
 |
Have a say when new
services are planned, look into specific issues of concern
and make suggestions to the
people who plan, provide and run the services.

Why should I join?
You can have a say and influence those

and social
care services. The LINk gives

voice. And you can

isn’t working well and make
sure issues and ideas are listened to. |

What can I do?
You can take a few minutes to answer a
survey. You can come to a meeting to

issue that interests you.
Or you can join a working group to
