Keep up to date with current LINk projects including research, events and project reports.

LINk also commissions external reports on issues raised by LINk members. You can find these in the reports area of our publications section.

LINK's Enter and View volunteers have now completed their training. Their feedback on services in North Tyneside will provide valuable information for our projects.

Project	Outline
Experiences of reablement services	North Tyneside's reablement service offers six weeks free support after hospital discharge. The service works with people to rebuild their confidence, support the development of daily living skills and promote community access and integration with the aim of preventing hospital readmission or the need for long-term care.

Adults affected by autism	We want to speak with people affected by autism to hear their experiences and their ideas about how the lives of adults with autism could be improved. We will support people with autism and their care partners to become more involved with the local implementation of ‘fulfilling and rewarding lives’ – a strategy for adults with autism.

Quality of home care services	Last year we looked into people's experiences of home care services in North Tyneside. North Tyneside Council will be setting up new contracts for home care services in 2012 and so we have agreed to ask people for their views later in 2011 so they can be fed into the process for selection of service providers.Visit the project space
Quality of care at North Tyneside General Hospital	Following information received from members about the quality of care at North Tyneside General Hospital, LINk talked to patients and carers about their experiences. We have produced a report of our findings and recommendations for improvement. Visit the project space
