We support a community of practice, and promote innovation and best practice through our annual programme of awards. We hold regular conferences and workshops to share ideas and learn about new models of care and new ways of working. We are developing our networks of good practice, and have developed our programme of webinars and a regular CHA Members Discussion Forum by Zoom.
