What is the Bedfordshire LINk?
LINk stands for Local Involvement Network - a network of individuals, groups and communities who want to work together to improve local health and social care services.
What will the LINk do?
The LINk will help the citizens of Bedfordshire speak with a more influential local voice by:
- Supporting local people to say what they think of local health and social care services, what is good and what needs to be improved
- Giving people a chance to suggest ideas to health and social care professionals that may help to improve services
- Training members of the public to carry out spot checks, when necessary, to see if services are working well
- Getting attention for neglected issues and ideas
Why should I get involved?
Think about the last time you saw your GP or attended your local hospital. Were you happy with the treatment you received?
Is it sometimes difficult for you to get the health or social care services you need?
What would make it easier?
Have you or family or friends got complex health and social care service needs?
What would make it easier to access these?
