HAPPY NEW YEAR!
 
The Bedfordshire LINk Host Team look forward to working with you in 2012. 
 
  • This year we hope to run our own
    Enter & View (monitoring) training  for members. The Social Care working group has set up a Project Task Group to organise this.
 
  • We will be visiting communities in Houghton Regis in the RaveBus, hopefully in February 2012. 
Contact us for further details.......

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 helps 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?  

 

        We always look forward to hearing from you:

 

What has been your experience of hospital care, privacy & dignity issues, nutrition, discharge?  Please let us know.

 

What do think about the handling of mental health crisis calls and the provision of respite care?

 

 Use the "contact us" form in the main menu to let us know.

 

Thank you.
