'Doncaster LINk - A Pathfinder Local HealthWatch'


Doncaster LINk is made up of a network of individuals, organisations and community groups who work together to improve local services in both Health and Social care. Anyone can be involved.


Doncaster LINk is here to find out what people like and value about local services, identify gaps in services or to make suggestions on how existing services can be improved. This is achieved by the Doncaster LINk working with people who provide them, such as the local council and NHS Trusts, by working together we can help to make services better and more tailored to meet the needs of the individuals in Doncaster.
