The Network originated 15 years ago in the NHS Research & Development programme in England. It is multi-professional and cross organisational, and is designed to connect like-minded health and social care practitioners, educators, researchers and managers. CHAIN now covers the whole of the UK and is also becoming international, with smaller satellites in Australia, Canada, Scandinavia, Italy, Spain and members in 40 other countries worldwide. CHAIN is a not-for-profit organisation; the network is free to join and use; and its costs are met by a consortium of stakeholders.
