We bring together experienced CHC professionals, expert training, and practical consultancy to enhance patient care, professional development, and regulatory compliance.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the pressures of agency nursing, the complexity of NHS Continuing Healthcare, and the demands of working within CQC-regulated services. Through tailored CHC training, hands-on nursing consultancy, and a supportive peer community, we help you deliver safe, person-centred care while growing your CHC expertise and career.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional support hub and a CHC consultancy resource. Our private, invite-only online groups bring together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, solve complex clinical challenges, and support each other 24/7/365.

How We Support Your Success in CHC and Complex Care
Preparing for CQC Inspections in CHC Services

We support nurses and providers to design personalised learning disability (LD) care and support plans that promote safety, autonomy, and inclusion. Working closely with families, MDTs, and support staff, we help ensure LD care meets legal and regulatory standards while remaining truly person-centred.
