The Local Involvement Network
We are one of 150 local authorities in England
who were instructed by the Department of Health to help establish a
Local Involvement Network (LINk).
The LINks replace the old patient and public
forums, and now covers social services as well as healthcare
issues.
Benefits of joining the Kent LINk
There are a number of benefits to becoming
involved in the Kent LINk.
These include:
- getting attention for neglected issues or ideas
- influencing those who make decisions about new or existing
health and care services
- helping the community speak with a stronger local voice
- helping services provide better care
By joining as an individual or on behalf of a voluntary
organisation, the Kent LINk can help you join up with others who
share your interests in either health or social care. You can
benefit from the powers, influence and resources at the disposal of
the LINk to help "get your voice heard".
