CHAIN -Information Network for people employed in health and social care

CHAIN is a network of people, not organisations. CHAIN - Contact, Help, Advice and Information Network - is an online network for people working in health and social care. It is based around specific areas of interest, and gives people a simple and informal way of contacting each other to exchange ideas and share knowledge. CHAIN is multi-professional and cross organisational. It is supported by a number of organisations including the H.S.E. and the Institute of Public Health in Ireland. CHAIN is free to join. As a CHAIN member, you can use the network in many ways including:

  • Searching the online directory in order to contact other members directly
  • Finding out about forthcoming events, conferences and research funding opportunities through messages targeted by the CHAIN facilitator
  • Requesting information from groups of CHAIN members, or publicise your own event
  • Downloading resources from CHAIN events
