CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community, Training & Consultancy for CHC Nurses
Connecting & Empowering Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We bring CHC agency nurses together to share knowledge, develop specialist skills, access expert training and consultancy, and build a supportive community that truly understands the demands of CHC nursing.
Whether you are an experienced CHC nurse or looking to expand your practice into Continuing Healthcare, our network helps you grow your career, enhance patient outcomes, and feel supported by colleagues who understand the realities of agency and CHC work.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional impact of nursing. At CHC Nurses Agency Network, we provide a safe, relaxed, and confidential space where CHC nurses can connect, de‑stress, and access practical peer support every day of the year.
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch through invite‑only social media groups, regular events and online sessions, and ongoing peer‑to‑peer support. Many members build long‑lasting friendships and professional partnerships that continue for years.
