Ahead of Essential Connections, the 2024 Scottish Community Link Worker Network Annual Conference, Voluntary Health Scotland asked network members to complete
a short survey.
Community link workers were asked for:
• Their top three reasons for referral.
• And the main challenge in their role.
87 of the 320 members of the Scottish Community Link Worker Network responded to this survey, representing 27% of the total membership. The responses to these questions have been summarised below and will be shared with attendees in advance of the conference on 29 May. Discussion of the results will inform the afternoon’s community link worker panel session, which will consider how we can ensure that community link workers’ voices are able to influence healthcare
policy in Scotland.
