South West LINks Members Events

There are two series of action learning events for LINks members in the South West.  They are 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 South West are listed below.   As places are limited to 2 per LINk, we ask that bookings are agreed in advance through LINks Chairs.
