Abstract: First paragraph: Voluntary Health Scotland (VHS) is the national intermediary and network for voluntary health organisations across Scotland. Our purpose is to create a healthier, fairer Scotland, served by a thriving voluntary sector. Since 2021, the Scottish Government Primary Care Directorate has provided project funding to VHS to establish and develop the Scottish Community Link Worker Network (SCLWN). The Network aims to create a shared space for community link workers (CLWs) in primary care settings across Scotland to share learning, and to develop, network, and support each other to improve outcomes for their patients and communities.
