A 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 planned and delivered.

• A LINk is made up of individuals and community groups who 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
• This may involve talking directly to health and social care professionals about a service that is not being offered, or suggesting ways that an existing service could be made better
• LINks also have powers to help them do their job and to make sure that changes happen.

If you have any feedback on NHS services please tell us your views or if you would like to join us then please become a member.

Please also visit the Patient Opinion website which shows the latest information entered into their website about experiences of patients in Wakefield.

The LINk is split up into task groups to deal with problem areas of the local health and social services.  Each of our Task Groups have had successes by working with the local services to help the public get the best care.  

Just a few of the better known examples of our work can be found in our case studies section.
