Special Announcement
Link Life Fife is enhancing its service to better support people living with long term health conditions, thanks to funding from the Primary Care Improvement Fund. While the service continues to focus on mental health and wellbeing, it now includes dedicated support for those managing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and chronic pain.
According to NHS Scotland, people living with chronic pain and long term conditions often experience low mood, anxiety and depression, and benefit from the same types of non-medical support as those with mental health challenges.
To meet this growing need, new link workers have joined the already established team which supported 1658 people in 2025. Referrals can be made from Primary Care Professionals from across Fife.
How can I make a referral to the service?
Referrals are accepted from health professionals in Primary Care from GP practices across Fife.
Speak to your GP, nurse or other health professional, who can refer you to Link Life Fife.
