Each member of the MLN will take on the role of Team Leader, tasked with establishing and leading a multi agency working group in their locality. Team Leaders will be responsible for sharing information, progress, positive practice and improvement examples through the planned communication channels of the MLN .
    
The MLN will be Co-chaired, rotating between one Older Adult Lead from CSIP and one elected member of the MLN. Meetings of the network will be held on the last working day of the month.

10 Key work themes of the MLN were identified by the members at the 2-day event. Each of these themes has a ‘Theme Lead'. The Theme Lead, (in addition to their Team Lead role), will act as a ‘knowledge conduit' for their identified theme within the MLN.  Theme Leads will identify objectives for their theme, which will then be adopted by the MLN as the objectives for that particular work theme.
