Our work is delivered in partnership with NHS bodies, integrated care boards, community pharmacies and other trusted partners — prioritising underserved communities who face the greatest barriers to care.

Healthcare professional education

CPD programmes, webinars, face-to-face events and e-learning that advance clinical knowledge and evidence-based practice for GPs, pharmacists, nurses, allied health professionals and physician associates.

Governance

Built so the benefit can never leave the community

CliniLink Foundations CIC is a community interest company limited by guarantee — the structure most trusted by grant funders, NHS partners and research sponsors.

How we're governed

  • Statutory asset lock — profits and assets are permanently dedicated to community benefit
  • Limited by guarantee — no shareholders, no private dividend
  • Independent content — no funder or sponsor has any input into educational content, patient selection or clinical decisions
  • Published register of all sponsorships, grants and funding sources in our annual community interest report
Equity at the core

We prioritise underserved communities — including people experiencing homelessness, veterans, ethnic minority communities and people with disabilities — and build on the CliniLink network of over 11,000 UK healthcare professionals across the NHS, community pharmacy and industry.
