Welcome to Warwickshire Local Involvement Network (LINk)
Warwickshire Local Involvement Network (LINk) is the independent health and adult social care watchdog for Warwickshire. We are an independent network of people and groups who want to help make social and health care better in the local area.
The LINk gives you a chance to influence how health and social care services are planned and delivered in the county.
We find out what you want, check it is happening, and hold providers to account.
The LINk helps you have your say and makes sure the patient/service users voice is listened to.
Warwickshire LINk is a statutory body with legal powers under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007.
You can get up to the minute information on developments at both local and national level by either following us on Twitter - see link left or, our RSS newsfeed.
Warwickshire LINk has now published three reports on research projects undertaken during the Autumn and winter 2011. The reports: Dental Care for Individuals with Learning Difficulties; Giving Young People a Voice - Health Needs of Young People; Health Needs of Gypsies and travellers can all be found here
