This series of events for LINks members is a great opportunity to share and embed best practice across all LINks in the run up to local Healthwatch.  They are free to attend, travel expenses will be paid and lunch will be provided.

Dates and locations for the series of LINks members events for the North East are listed below.   As places are limited to 2 per LINk, we ask that bookings are agreed in advance through LINks Chairs.

The series of five events will focus on issues that LINks members have identified as development issues:

• Leadership- developing skills as leaders
• Enter and view- how to carry out the visits
• Engagement with diverse local communities
• Representation- representing the views of local people
• Influence- how to influence decision makers
