The National Community Hearing Association (NCHA)
The National Community Hearing Association (NCHA) is the professional representative body for community hearing care providers in the UK. We exist to improve hearing care for all and work with the NHS, health and social care bodies and policymakers to make this happen.
Our mission – better hearing care for all
Our goals are to work with partners to achieve better ear and hearing care for all by:
- Ensuring ear and hearing care is recognised as a public health priority by the NHS and government
- Ensuring everyone has access to primary care audiology in the same way as to GPs, dentistry, eye care and pharmacies based on personal choice
- Breaking down barriers between primary, community and secondary care for the benefit of patients
- Supporting effective regulation of hearing care services
- Ensuring we have the workforce, infrastructure and funding models to deliver excellence in hearing care for all.
