Gloucestershire LINk

Giving communities a stronger voice in the delivery of health and social care services

A Local Involvement Network (LINk) has been set up in every area of England to help people influence or change the way their local NHS and social care services are delivered.

Every local council has employed an independent organisation to set up, advise and support the LINk for its area and GRCC is the host for the Gloucestershire LINk.

• A LINk is made up of individuals and community groups who will work together to improve local health and social care services.
• The job of a LINk is to find out what people like and dislike about local services, and to work with the people who plan and run them to help make them better.
• Anyone can join the LINk, be they individuals or groups.
