The Structure of the Association The Care Coordination Association is organised on a National basis, with members in NHS Regional Executive areas nominating regional representatives to a CCA committee. From this committee the Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer, together with their deputies, are elected. Activities of the Association The Chair and others are seconded to work a number of hours each month for the Association, usually promoting the CPA within the regions, or dealing with national issues on behalf of the CCA. The Association acts as a ‘clearing house’ for members of information relating to the CPA. The CCA Newsletter 'A New Approach' is produced bi-monthly. Training events and workshops are held with the aim of promoting guidance on issues relating to the CPA. |
