K&C LINk - Our Work

The work of the K&C LINk is based on the needs and interests of our members. Priorities are decided upon by the members based on the evidence available, the experiences of the community and the impact the LINk can make with available resources.

Please note the LINk cannot deal with individual issues. We always try to sign-post people to other services wherever possible. We also track issues so we can identify trends quickly and discuss them at the Management Group meeting.

Examples of 2009-2010 sub-group priorities include:

• Mental health - Access to services including complementary therapies

• Cancer - Early screening services
• Older People - Nutrition

• Physical disability - Access to services

We also work on regional and/or national issues of interest to our members, for example:

• Home-care services for older Londoners
• Green paper for Social Care "Shaping the Future of Care Together"
• Individual Budgets

Members also engage with our strategic partners on issues:

• St. Charles re-development
• Earls Court Health Centre
• Imperial Trust application for foundation status
• Quality Accounts
