CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Nurses
A Dedicated Community for Continuing Healthcare Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support hub for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing and complex care. We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, build confidence and make agency nursing safer, easier and more rewarding.
Created by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the realities of CHC work — the pressure of assessments, the complexity of care packages, and the emotional impact of working with high-need patients. Through peer support, expert guidance and regular events, we help you develop your career while protecting your wellbeing.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a safe, relaxed and professional space where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn and grow together. Our core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals stays in touch 24/7/365 through confidential, invite-only social media groups and online forums.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the workload, stress and responsibility of CHC nursing. That is why our network focuses on peer-to-peer support, practical advice and real-life solutions to the everyday challenges you face in Continuing Healthcare.
