Enter and View

Enter & View representatives are required to enter and view premises providing health and social care services within County Durham. These representatives will observe and assess the nature and quality of services, obtain the views of people using those services, validate evidence already collected and gather information from staff, service users and carers.

Authorised representatives of the LINk will be able to enter and view care services provided by:

  • NHS Trusts
  • NHS Foundation Trusts
  • Primary Care Trusts
  • Local Authorities
  • Primary Medical Services ie GPs
  • Primary Dental Services
  • Primary Ophthalmic Services
  • Pharmaceutical Services
  • Other bodies / institutions which are contracted by Local Authorities or NHS Trusts , Primary Trusts or Strategic Health Authorites to provide care services

Visits are co-ordinated with service providers and are carried out as part of a constructive relationship between LINks and orgnisations commissioning / and or providing health and social care services. The ethos is not to seek out faults with local services, but to see how the standards and provision of care services can be improved.

LINk members were asked if they would like to apply for this role in December 2008 and those representatives who were successful at the interview stage, have since then, been undergoing an intensive training programme, to which their commitment and dedication has been outstanding.
